Dear supporter

Thank you for signing our petition to stop the supermarket on Helensburgh's waterfront. You are one of more than 4000 people who have done this, which is extraordinary in our town of 15,000 people. 

Nevertheless, Argyll and Bute Council is still not listening. 

Come and join Helensburgh Community Council for a rally to stop the supermarket and save our waterfront, 12 -1, on Saturday 26th October - at the proposed waterfront site.

Our waterfront could be a vibrant community space to be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. Instead we are to be given a supermarket that is harmful to Helensburgh's wonderful view over the Clyde, as well as our fragile local businesses.

Argyll and Bute Council's process for selecting the winning supermarket bid has been flawed and secretive. It has disregarded the views of the community and is using weak and out of date evidence. Despite the strong community opposition, Argyll and Bute Council is still not listening to the community.

Please share this invite and bring all your family and friends to the rally to

• Hear the latest news about the supermarket plans
• Watch the BMX and skateboarding display at the skatepark
• Mark your opposition with wildflower bombs and ribbons
• Listen to wonderful local musicians

We look forward to seeing you at midday on Saturday 26th October to stop the supermarket and save our waterfront.

Best wishes,

Everyone at Helensburgh Community Council
