100% why would we need an aldi in brixton, there's two sainsburys, a new shitty tesco (where the costa used to be), the M&S (recently refurbished, has been in brixton since 1920), the big tesco, the small tesco in the petrol station, iceland, and the amazing market and a bunch of other small independent shops. Also lidl is very close in stockwell.
I’m heartbroken to know this is happening to our lovely Latin American community. I go to delicathe when I’m missing my home country and now I feel a sense of emptiness when I pass by and see Cathe restaurant closed. It’s really sad and unfair and I really hope she’s okay.
“A more attractive tourist destination”. Again, building the city for the tourists not for the locals. Anyway, how can an Aldi be more attractive than those unique small businesses?
Thank you for drawing attention to this. Is there a campaign or petition we can get involved with?
Seconding this, really want to support a campaign like people got going at elephant&castle!

Just horrific exploitation- thanks for reporting
What about the artists above? Some of them have been there over 10 years. No update on their leases either
