That Old Bank site has been vacant for too long now, and with the pet shop and furniture shop closures, the high street is suffering. Anyone obstructing progress on that high street is playing a dangerous game. The Dominos protest made sense at the time (I backed it) - Hopscotch was expanding, Hills and Parkes had just opened - but the high street is in decline now, and halting any development is sending a signal to would-be investors that Honor Oak is the wrong place to invest. A Sainsburys for our high street is a very good idea. It will provide much needed fresh fruit and veg in the neighbourhood and a shopping opportunity for those without a car. More importantly, it will break the existing trend of shop closures and decline. Once that narrative takes hold it will be hard to reverse. I say enough dithering - let the turnaround begin!
