Cheeky, you say that almost half the premises are empty on the Honor Oak Park shopping parade? Huh? When did you last walk down it? Yes, the Whitewood Shop, the Tandoori restaurant, the Old Bank and Linda's pet shop are currently vacant. But, we have the cycle shop, the florist, Hopscotch cafe, Barbaros the hairdressers, Gogi's Off-licence, several mini-supermarkets, the fish and chip shop, the Golden Tiger Chinese takeaway, pizza takeaway, dry-cleaners, art gallery, newsagent, delicatessen, estate agents, tapas bar (refurbished), funeral parlour, dental lab, Jumping Bean gift shop and Neroli beauty shop. That's quite a diverse spread. We need fresh meat and fish on the parade, and if a major player like Sainsbury's would support a really small, in-scale unit opening late and selling these along with some fruit, veg, cheese, good tea and coffee - like a grocers shop - it could bring a lot of people in but keep our existing traders. If this big local goes through, carrying a big range of lines, I would worry that besides the loss of sales, shop rental prices will rise dramatically and force existing small traders out. A lot of this is covered in principle by the London Plan, to which our council signed up in July 2011.
