Over 4000 people in Helensburgh have signed a petition opposing Argyll and Bute Council’s decision to give the go for a new supermarket development on a beautiful and prime location on Helensburgh’s waterfront. This is an extraordinary response in our town of 15,000 people – with 1 in 4 people calling on Argyll and Bute Council to stop the supermarket. 

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 It has disregarded the views of the community and is using weak and out of date evidence.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

Bring your friends and neighbours for a rally to stop the supermarket and save our waterfront, 12 -1, on Saturday 26th October – at the proposed waterfront site, next to the skatepark.

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

See you at midday on Saturday 26th October to stop the supermarket and save our waterfront.
