They actually listened and the shop is closing down for good so I am honestly just floored right now. I keep thinking about how much work everyone put in and I guess it really paid off though we should probably keep an eye on the storefront just in case anything …

Whilst it is the individuals choice to partake in the use of illegal substances the local residents, traders and school children do not wish to support a shop that supplies equipment that promotes illegal activity or the use of "legal highs." There is a significant enough drug problem in the area without a shop that will facilitate the decline even further. If adults wish to obtain these items they can do so easily. We believe that this establishment will make it easier for the underage to obtain these items as there will always be an older friend who is prepared to enter and make the purchase. The Anerley Regeneration Project are hard at work trying to revitalise this area and we feel that this establishmemt will simply contribute to a decline in the area. We are also a conservation zone and do not feel that the promotion illegal drug taking is inkeeping with this. Please sign our petition and support your community;

Two hundred and fifty names on this thing already which I honestly find kind of wild because I was just sitting in my kitchen worrying about the neighborhood when I started this. It makes me think about all those kids walking past that storefront every single morning and how maybe we can actually stop this decline if enough of us keeps pushing back.

I really cannot believe how fast this has all taken off lately because honestly I thought it was just going to be me grumbling about this shop to my neighbors. Seeing so many people agree that our neighborhood deserves better than this is honestly overwhelming and it makes me think we might actually have a real shot at stopping this from becoming the new norm for our streets.

I was walking past the site again today and honestly it just makes me dread what kind of environment we are creating for the kids walking to school. People keep messaging me their own stories about the area and it is so clear that we all want the same thing even if the local council acts like they have no idea why we are so upset.

I'm a father with two kids with pretty open mind. However I think this shop is detrimental to the area and is inappropriate for this location. If it was located in Soho I'd be uncomfortable. It is in an area where there are children going to school and families. There are enough pitfalls for parents and children to avoid anyway without this shop on yhe doorstep. .. which is way too up front and accessible.

Seriously? Right next to where our kids go? Unbelievable. Really hope they shut this place down soon.

TOTALJOKE. Why on earth was this allowed to open here? My kids walk past that shop everyday and I hate it.

We are trying to clean up this neighborhood and this is the last thing we need. Keep it away from our schools.

Wrong place for this business. Not in my backyard.

Anerley has enough issues already. This is just going to attract more trouble and bad crowds.
