I'd rather not see another Tesco next to Sainsbury's. There is no real demand for another supermarket and it would really bring unfair competition to the farmers' market.

Mick, where is the Tesco in Herne Hill that's been open for 1 year exactly? I live in HH and have never seen it. The building is going up with student accommodation above it but there is no Tesco open whatsoever so this 'demonstration' still has some value, although I'm guessing planning permission for the retail space may well have been granted by now.

Very amusing that "local residents" are still signing this petition and commenting when the Tesco in Herne Hill has been open for nearly a year.

we already have a supermarket and a thriving community of smaller, specialist shops. We don't need another supermarket and it's likely to put the small shops out of business

Pointless from the consumer point of view. More ugly, bland,corporate signage on our streets. Who needs it?

The community is already well-served by great independent shops and a Sainsbury's Local. This is not needed and truck deliveries will definitely be disruptive to the area.

Herne Hill is a local village with local businesses. A supermarket would have a detrimental effect on both the atmosphere, community feel and on local business. There are plenty of supermarkets in the neighbouring areas. This is completely unnecesssary and unwanted.

I'm fed up by the ridiculous amount of tesco and sainsbury's in the Brixton area. Herne Hill certainly doesn't need another supermarket. They push out independent shops and there seems to be one or the other at every bus stop. Most unnecessary, why do they want to take over the world? Far too many!

Would it be worth trying to develop a new local plan by forming a "Neighbourhood Forum" (Localism Act) where it might be possible to prevent this kind of development ?

These supermarkets take over everywhere and are nearly always not asked for or wanted.

These Tesco franchises are abysmal and offer no community value whatsoever that an independent shop is able to offer...There are too many in Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham - our councils seem to wave them through without thought...it's a fundamental lack of genuine thinking and personal responsibility and a trend which is very worrying indeed

One supermarket in a small community is enough, the local shops do well with this competition but another supermarket will see more empty shops and businesses struggling.

Please no more of these abominations, with inflated prices and very poor service. The independent shops are the power within the community.

I see no need for another convenience supermarket in Herne Hill, given that Sainsbury's Local is a twenty second walk from the train station, and the local greengrocers, bakers and butchers shops are much loved local businesses which would inevitably suffer if a Tesco Express was to be established.
