Local residents feel that their opinions about the proposed re-development of the Orpington Walnuts Shopping Centre are not being considered by the official Areli consultation or by their local councillors.

This petition to pledge to boycott the shops, restaurants, cafés and bars delivered if this development goes ahead without taking into account our concerns gives us the opportunity to make the strength of our feelings known to the wider public.

Local residents, those living within half a mile of the development site, will feel the biggest negative impacts from this project and so we should have the greatest influence on what is delivered not people living miles away.

The people signing this petition are not saying no to redevelopment but are saying no the sheer size and scale of the current proposals.

The below signatories pledge to boycott the shops, restaurants, cafés and bars delivered by this project unless the scale and size is significantly reduced so as to be sympathetic with the current landscape and to local services.
