Argyll and Bute Council has given the go ahead to a developer to build a new supermarket on a beautiful and prime location on Helensburgh's waterfront, near the leisure centre. This retail development threatens the livelihoods of local businesses and will ruin the waterfront views we value in our community and bring many tourists to our town.

Over the last six years, Helensburgh Community Council has consulted Helensburgh residents about what they would like on the waterfront. The message is clear from the 4,500 responses, and dwarfs the 83 people consulted by Argyll and Bute Council:

Residents do not want a supermarket on the waterfront.

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 It has disregarded the views of the community and is based on weak and out of date evidence.

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.

Sign this petition to let Argyll and Bute Council's leader and chief executive know you do not want a a supermarket on Helensburgh's waterfront.

As we start a new year, eating with the seasons is a way we can support our health and our planet.

Eating food that’s grown at the right time of the year takes less energy to produce and tastes delicious.

The next couple of months are the perfect time to cook with sweet potato, cauliflower, leeks, onions, parsnips, rhubarb and more!
