Bring Woolworths to Newport

Has anybody taken an objective look at Newport shopping strip lately?  Its run down and depressing. Woolworths new plans would breathe much needed life into an otherwise dying shopping area.  

The anti-Woolworths campaigners keep banging on about how building a Woolworths would ruin Newport's "village atmosphere".  Well Avalon has a Woolworths and its village atmosphere is just fine!

The latest argument from the folks against this development is that Newport doesn't need a "mega-store".  Would they feel better if Woolies build half a supermarket?

Surely Newport is better off with a full service, fully stocked supermarket that will save time and money while reducing carbon pollution because fewer people will need to drive to Mona Vale.

The closing date for submissions is 28 May. Have your voice heard. Bring life back to Newport. Ask your councillors to approve the development by signing the petition. 

NOTE: I have no connection with Woolworths whatsoever.  I'm just really getting tired of my voice being drowned out by vocal self-interested minorities.
