The next shop to succumb to ‘The Curse of Wellington Way’ is the Marie Curie charity shop; Marie Curie provides care and support for people living with any terminal illness.
Waterlooville’s Marie Curie shuts its doors at the end of this week.
Wellington Way Shop Marie Curie Closing
If you enjoyed this story here is a curated collection of our blog stories and promoted articles:
I saw that is was closing. Any idea why?
Their lease has run out
Blimey, waterlooville must be in a bad way if the charity shops are moving out!
Used to buy things there when I visited the UK
Aren’t all of those shops in that section the subject of a compulsory purchase order?
Hampshire County Council were looking into a compulsory purchase order, though these things take an age.
With the threat of that looming though,I doubt many will want the uncertainty of waiting to see if it would happen.
Put it this way – I wouldn’t be seeking to renew a lease, I’d be taking the opportunity to relocate.
Apparently the rental agreement was over and was too expensive to renew!ð
Thank you Sarah. Oh what a surprise … ð
But I get the feeling that it will all go eventually, and become flats!ð
They are all being knocked down to be rebuilt with flats above eventually
Yep Kath, though at the time of commenting no plans have been formally submitted, you have to wonder what the owner’s long term plan is after going to the expense of having these drawn up?
They are also on about building ontop of the clock tower
There’s already flats above the clock tower, been there for years.
There are plans to add extra Sarah.
Yes they are on about building above the flats x

We’d like a cinema, not more flats! Something to do other than charity shopping and looking for new houses would be lovely!
Such a shame such a wonderful team of volunteers in the Marie Curie shop who have helped me and others many times when looking for dresses and outfits for our themed dance nights – you will be missed X
Thank you for your lovely comment Helen, as a volunteer for 12 years in Marie Curie, I can only say that it was a pleasure to work there, as it was like a big family, and we always had such marvellous customers.
I agree xxxx
Ffs when will these money grabbing landlords realise that some income per month is better than nothing at all???

The horrible curse lol. ….I’m safe for another year hahaha. . . . . amber is band from this site lol xx
Noone is ever safe from The Curse of Wellington Way ð±ð±ð±
Nobody has ever been banned for having a different opinion about a story.Not an exhaustive list: people are banned for spamming the page, accusing us/insinuating that we’ve said something that we haven’t, rude private messages and general mischief making.
Another person was banned last night for one of the reasons above. Once banned, that’s it, running this site takes enough time as it is!
Probably because they want to bulldoze it and build yet more huge, ugly blocks of flats. It’s called greed. The whole area is turning into a concrete nightmare.

I have livid in Waterlooville for 70 years and it is so sad it is now a ghost town
Onwellington way I remember it opening with a huge fanfare,in the 60s worked in the keymarket store at the very end facing thriving precinct then .what is left of the shops from then
All gone mike nothing left all outlet shops built down on the hambledon road
Hello Mo what’s happened,why the exodus of good shops? What is going to replace the precinct?
Flats flats and more FLATS xx
Hell’s bells and buckets of fire,what a load of ******””what a sad situation. Is the pub still on the corner
No the heroes has moved to the top of vill near hulbert road Wellington still in same place I’m afraid it’s all changed not for the good xx
What about the bricklayers arms my favourite?
That’s long gone keymarkets is now Iceland and might stay all the farm land built on down to nearly denmead no fields opposite the flats we lived in those were the days
Weren’t they just .happy days
The best say hi to Glenda hope she is well xx
I heard the other day that the plans for the flats had been turned down and thrown out!
According to the planning portal an extension in time was granted, a verdict is due in the next few days.
