Save our Shops "Post boxes"

Save our shops

Save our Shops (SOS) "Post boxes" are appearing in Hebden Bridge shops and cafés this week so townspeople can post pledges to oppose Sainsbury's in Hebden Bridge.

Pledge cards are provided.

The boxes can already be found in Pennine Provisions, Holt's Grocers, Valley Organics, Saker's the Bakers, and Marco's Café, more will follow.

Organisers from SOS Hebden Bridge are launching this preemptive action should Sainsbury's appeal against the Calderdale Council decision to reject planning permission for their store development here.

They say "The deadline for Sainsbury's to appeal is 17th March. We already have 564 objections. Can we get 1000 postcard pledges to show our disapproval by the end of the month?"

The key issue is that 17th March is the deadline for Sainsbury's to appeal against the refusal of planning permission for their development of the Old Fire Station Site in Hebden Bridge.
