The New Sainsbury's Local Plans


The former Crescent Club
Sainsbury's have revealed the plans for its proposed new store in the former Fox Pub / Crescent Night Club. You can see the drawings yourself on the H&F planning application page (see link).
They are taking over the whole of the ground floor and basement.
The applied for Sainsbury's Local entrance will be on the corner of North End Rd. / Crescent. The plans for the store  show new sliding doors, a wall ATM and a in-store bakery.
This looks like being a great plus for our neighbourhood, with the promise of new jobs and trading opportunities for other shopkeepers, given the potential for the extra number of customers a popular store would bring to the area.

Thanks for the news. Some good ones for a change which could also enhance
the community/neighbourhood and promote local shops." ITE

When Tesco Olympia opened, all the local shops closed down overnight and were boarded up. The same will happen here. We have a great row of shops, a real community. Sainsbury's won't promote local shops. Rather the complete opposite.

We've got a great, friendly bunch of shops opposite what used to be the Fox. There's no need for this at all.

I'd sooner see another live music venue, given the increasing lack of these across the City, and certainly the borough.
