To help us get the most from a generous donation by P&O Estates and Regent's Quarter Ltd, Dodd's the local printers will be topping-up our print-run of leaflets and posters.
I spoke to Susan at Dodd's this morning, she's frustrated that Network Rail are phasing out the historically important Thameslink Station entrance on Pentonville Road. Local experts will know that this used to be the entry to the Metropolitan Railway, part of London's first underground system running from Paddington to Farringdon. It's a very popular entrance taking station users from all over the south east side of King's Cross safely and directly to their trains, avoiding the horrendous mess that is the dangerously overcrowded Euston Road/York Way/Pentonville Road/Gray's Inn Road pedestrian crossing.
Susan agreed that the bridge for those on the north east side is important. Together we bemoaned the fact that the King's Cross community seems condemned to constantly fight its corner. Without the community pointing out that we exist and have transport needs, we have always tended to be forgotten.
So, thankyou to Dodd's for their support. If you have print needs can I recommend Dodd's to you? A local independent company on the corner of King's Cross Road and St Chad's Passage. Contact them directly.
The list of local businesses supporting this campaign continues to grow!
A salute to Dodds the printer for supporting this community initiative. Let's all keep them in our minds when it comes to local printing needs.
