Morrison's Local by the station

Alchohol license application in the name of 'Morrisons M Local' on the windows of the former chippy by Park Theatre. That gentrification thing is really coming together isn't it?

The Fish and Chips place? Seems a bit small.<br>

Why don't we get any say in this. My friends in Pimlico prevented and Sainsbury local from moving in

This article in the Telegraph says that it's not only Aldi and Lidl that Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury and Morrisons have been losing sales to - it also their own convenience stores:<div><br><div>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/businesslatestnews/11205154/The-biggest-problem-for-supermarkets-Their-own-convenience-stores.html<br></div></div>;

This is the opportunity to have your say! It doesn't need planning permission for change of use, just an alcohol license is needed.<br>

@N!9 - what do I do?

NorthNineteen · November 2014

Object to the licensing on the grounds that street drinking and anti-social behaviour is a concern around the station, or if thinking big organise a similar protest against Morrisons as other areas have - I'm sure there's advice online how to be most effective in doing this!

But it isn't a problem. Also, there was a pub there for years, the Park Theatre is heaving with people drinking inside and out on the street and there are three shops already selling alcohol and drink related anti social behaviour is not a problem. The begging, busking and drug dealing is. Is it just snobbery about Morrisons? No one seems to be moaning about Waitrose which will be selling drink inside the station mall.

My Cottage, an independent cafe has opened a few doors down and I would have thought that everyone would be falling over themselves to go in and support it. From the other thread, it looks like very few people have bothered. (You gave it a go Miss Annie.) It may be snobbery about Morrison's but it's probably just 'chain stores bad' in general, which is fine, to each his own.

NorthNineteen · November 2014

I don't think there is a problem with that either - but it's the only way an objection may stand up.

The morrisons is taking up units 2-4 on wells terrace which is the convenience shop next to Starbucks and the chip shop. So will be pretty big! The unit next door is a seperate license application for a restaurant - I've forgotten the name but it was quite English sounding and not something I recognized as a chain.

'Dempsey's Restaurant'. Google wasn't helpful.

Woodpecker · November 2014

Isn't it a good thing that investment is coming to the area? Another 'local' supermarket wouldn't necessarily be my first choice, but I'd rather that than run-down empty units.

There will be 465 Art Students living across the road.<br><br>Get one of the shops near to the Worlds End and turn it into a cheap eats student hangout !<br><br>You could do very well<br>

ADGS · November 2014

These aren't empty units though, are they? That little shop is the only Fentiman's stockist in FP (as far as I know). The chip shop did pretty good chips. Both more use than another identikit minisupermarket.

I think it's great news Morrisons is coming into the area. I approve of the Starbucks too. Sorry if I'm uncool!

Howdy, Stranger!
