Ask Sainsbury's to reconsider their decision not to open a store in Herne Bay.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The planned store has taken over a year to build, has caused traffic delays, dust & dirt but we justified all that as we looked forward to a new store plus a fuel station, all of which are needed in Herne Bay. If they pull out the area will look unsightly where the work has been going on.
The new road systems are in place for the entrance to the store and a new foot bridge has been created for foot traffic. All this going nowhere now!!

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is an operational decision for Sainsbury's.
