Are you talking about the sorting centre or about the empty space next to
it?


The latter (Phoenix Place) but some proposals involve
relocating/rebuilding the sorting centre within the site.
Closure is not on the cards AFAIK.


I heard that closure most certainly was on the cards and that they were
planning to relocate the sorting centre out to Hertfordshire.

Goodness knows. It appears to be mostly talk at the moment, as it has been
for 20+ years, but I suspect it is closer to reality than ever before
especially given the potential profits to be made and the pressure for
ever more housing.

The sorting centre is an architectural monument, is it not?
