"Important Announcement

As of 31st January 2023, our New Car Peugeot sales department has closed and our Used Car Sales team has relocated to our Stoneacre Stafford dealership on Astonfields Road, to join the New Car Kia, Dacia, Renault, and Fiat departments.
We will be operating from this branch with our Service department only, until 28th February 2023, and will then be closing the dealership and moving our Service operations to our Stoneacre Stafford dealership on Astonfields Road.
We would like to thank all of our customers past and present for your continued custom and we look forwards to seeing you all soon at our new premises."

So it's essentially closed already.

42 units for refugees are in progress now, where I am.

I understand they will be something like this.

Sorry, I wasn't aware of any building of significance there, thinking of the site as mainly cars displayed for sale like where the Stafford Arms was demolished.

I am along way away, in a different jurisdiction.

Even more amusingly, they are next to the golf club.

Ah yes, a ball's already gone through the big window on the right.

Autovogue who used to be situated near the refuse centre on St Albans road have ceased to trade. The director blames the closure on the reliability of range rovers and jaguars which he has had to fix.

Were these land rovers and jags that autovogue were selling with warranty or was it just debt taken up because they were repairing those vehicles brought in by customers???

Has Stoneacre gone? Cars were all missing the other day? But today the flags were back up and people were there, but not many show cars?

I'd assume it's fixing cars that they have sold.

Apparently the site on Astonfields hasn't appeared. According to face lies
