Lewes Rd. Community Gdn.

I know it’s outside of our patch but the following message from Another London Road may be of interest:

Things are still quiet on the Tesco front in London Road, but, as you may have heard, not so quiet in the Lewes Road! The Tesco they want to build is smaller than the one mooted for London Road, but it is on the site of the beautiful Community Garden, and in any case it would be one Tesco too many wherever it was!   ALR fully suports “Say No to Tesco on Lewes Road” and the Lewes Road Community Garden. Following a court case, the gardeners have now agreed to leave, and would be grateful for any help you can give them in getting the plants out – just go along to the garden from 10.00 am on Thursday, Friday or Saturday this week or ring Cathy Marchand on 07972-804640 for more details. And do try to get along there on Monday afternoon at 3.30 pm when the keys will be formally handed over and the gardeners would appreciate a big show of support.   Finally, Say No To Tesco is campaigning for a boycott of the new Tesco when it opens. Please give that campaign your support. There is a very good Co-Op right next door, and it will need support to fight off the competition
