I couldn't agree more with the last posts - what are people trying to save? A high street in gradual decline! A Sainsburys will be a great boost to a flagging high street and will simply mean that more people will shop (£££) along the high street on their way home(rather than L Bridge), walk to the high st and shop rather than drive to Forest Hill or Sydenham etc and this will increase the footfall and thus save our speciality shops. At the moment, the options are elsewhere and will generally mean a bypass of spending in Honor Oak. No brainer!

The high street is for the community and should serve the community needs - it does not at the moment. A free cash point would be a welcome addition for everyone.

Show me a petition for Sainsbury's and I'll sign it.
