Work will begin later this year on the 188-room hotel, costing £4.5m, on the former Woolworths site on Brixton Road. The main entrance to the Holiday Inn hotel would be from Coldharbour Lane via stairs and a lift from street level up to a main lobby. Coldharbour Lane is a mecca of small independent shops and restaurants. It has not yet succumbed to the high street giants like Starbucks and Costa that have invaded Brixton town centre over the past few years. What makes Brixton great is the independent businesses. If Holiday Inn move to Coldharbour Lane, this is the start of the end of this beautiful vibrant and individual street. Please sign this petition and keep Holiday Inn out of Coldharbour Lane.
