BP at The Lakes

Stopped at the Lakes BP on Monday. There is a notice saying it will be closed for redevelopment from the 1st April for about 6 months.

Assuming it's not an April Fool's joke, 6 months is a very long time for a servo to close.  We've had them close over east to install diesel at every bowser, and it takes a month, tops.

It is a very old establishment and there was a crew there drilling 100 mm holes every where in the ground. I think there will be a complete demolition of the site followed by a major redevelopment.
 But yes the significance of the date made me think twice as I was starting this thread.

If the old tanks have been leaking, they have to decontaminate the surrounding soil and that can take a very long time.
