Morrisons Daily opens on Burnt Ash Road

The new Morrisons Daily has opened, festooned with balloons, in the premises previously occupied by the Lee Off-Licence. It’s open from 7 AM to 11 PM daily.

At first glance it seems to be well stocked with basic essentials, including fruit, vegetables and flowers, as well as selling fresh bread, croissants and pastries. We will be interested to receive feedback from shoppers.

It ‘s also offering hot food like bacon and sausage baps, and has a coffee machine. Let’s hope the new competition doesn’t affect the existing business which have been there for many years: the newsagents and convenience store opposite and the café next door.

Burnt Ash Road blocked by car crash
