Local businesses are extremely concerned of the negative impact the opening of a 24/7, 7 days a week Sainsbury’s will have on their shops. Not to mention the disturbance it will cause to local residents. Priyas Local and Hampton Wick Post Office are already struggling as it is with the cost of living crisis and this could put them both out of business.

There is already a Sainsbury’s in Teddington and this application highlights the want of a presence on high streets up and down the country with no regard for the impact on local businesses or communities. Sainsbury’s is the 2nd largest supermarket chain in the UK and are unaffected by rising rents. 

We implore Sainsbury’s shareholders, VESA Equity Investment S.à.r.l., BlackRock, Inc and Schroders plc to rescind this application and look for a location that will less negatively impact local business and residents. 

Please help us by signing this petition in order to stop this happening.
