With the news that Sainsburys are opening on the site of the Carpetright store on Tulse Hill we in the community want to express our unhappiness at the proliferation of chain supermarkets in the Brixton area. We have 6 Sainsburys within a mile radius of that site, and a further 3 Tescos (with another one planned for the George IV site on Brixton Hill). In addition an enormous Tesco is currently being constructed just a short distance away in Streatham. We call upon Lambeth Council to listen to us, and to use their planning powers (creating a bylaw if necessary)to ensure greater diversity. We say protect local businesses. We say we value diversity. We say NO MORE CHAIN SUPERMARKETS.

The emails to the council offices have gone unanswered for days. It is deeply exhausting to watch our local character erode while the people in power look the other way. I am still here tracking these developments because nothing changes if we walk away now.

The weight of this momentum is heavy and honestly exhausting to keep up with, yet it proves that I am not fighting this battle alone. Seeing so many people recognize how much we stand to lose keeps me going despite the long road ahead.

STOP RUINING THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA. We want local shops not identical aisles of the same junk everywhere you look.

Lambeth council seriously needs to get a grip. 6 stores in a mile radius is just greedy and completely unnecessary.

Ridiculous amount of supermarkets around here already. My local independent deli is struggling to compete with these huge chains taking over every corner. Leave Brixton how it is.
