Please support the campaign to keep our Iceland supermarket in Hoxton Street open by signing this petition.
Please sign this petition to oppose the possible loss of our local Iceland supermarket unit at 209-223 Hoxton Street. The owner of the building proposes the demolition of the existing 2 storey building comprising a ground floor Iceland supermarket and pharmacy, and ancillary office space at first floor level, and the redevelopment of the site to provide two A1 retail units and 25 private rented sector residential units within a part-four part-five storey building. We are concerned that any demolition of this building will cause considerable disruption to Hoxton Market, local businesses and local residents for an extended period of time, as well as possible loss of daylight and sunlight to other properties in the area after completion.
From the information that we received, it has been confirmed that the proposed retail layout has been configured according to Iceland’s maintained operating requirements, however, it is not guaranteed that Iceland supermarket would operate from the site in the future.
Iceland Supermarket is vital and heavily used by the Hoxton residents and the people in the neighbouring areas. Closing it down will deprive the residents of their much loved supermarket for at least for the period of redevelopment, We don’t yet know whether an alternative arrangement has been made by Iceland to operate from another premises in the area while the redevelopment is going on.
Mayor Phil Glanville and the local councillors are backing residents in their campaign to keep the only large affordable supermarket in the area open.
We say to Iceland – discuss your plans with us – don’t leave us in the dark. Come up with a solution which means we continue to have an Iceland supermarket in Hoxton.

I’ve been using this Iceland for 15 years,I rely on a cheap supermarket that’s nearby ,we don’t have an Aldi,Lidl,Morrison’s ,or any cheap supermarkets within the Hoxton area,we need Iceland!!
If Iceland is shut to make way for more flats that local people cannot afford it would be the end of Hoxton Street market, there is hardly any shops in Hoxton as it is so where do the planners expect the locals to go ??
This shop is vital. Historically, for as long as I can remember there has always been a supermarket there. I am 51 and definitely rely on this as well as the elderly and parents coming home from school. Not everyone can get to Dalston or Angel to shop. Come on let's keep our community resources!
The Iceland is an absolutely vital community amenity. An extended demolition/reconstruction occurring on Hoxton Street will also be very disruptive to the market traders and businesses that are at the heart of the street, not to mention residents. Iceland must engage and work with the community on a solution.
Iceland has become part of Hoxton’s fabric and has served as a lifeline for those who are finding it hard to make ends meet with rising prices. Losing the only large affordable supermarket in the area will be like ripping the heart out of Hoxton Street.
Keep Hoxton Iceland where it is. Do not demolish as it serves the local community,the elderly and disabled very well
Stop the demolition of Iceland! This local Iceland supermarket is extremely useful to all local residents and for people who work in the area, for food shopping without having to travel too far away from the locality of Hoxton, especially useful for the local elderly and for the local disabled Iceland customers

The Iceland store is the only supermarket in Hoxton, it is used by all the local residents including many older and disabled residents who rely on it for good value food and household goods. I personally shop there several times every week and it has an excellent variety of fresh and frozen food.
