Anti-Iceland petition snowballs

More than 500 signatures have been collected on a petition to stop a bid by Sandpiper CI to bring Iceland to Alderney.

The paper version of the Save Our Street petition, organised by Victoria Street retailers, has been signed by at least three States Members, while the online version has netted support from people as far away as New Zealand, the UAE and Brazil. Matt Birmingham, Chris Rowley and Graham McKinley have signed the petition as have George Baron OBE and Sir Norman Browse. Meanwhile a survey on the issue by the Chamber of Commerce found that of the 53 people who answered it, only three were in favour of a change to the licensing laws and the opening of an Iceland store. Chamber of Commerce president Andrew Eggleston said the stampede of signatures was an indication of the strength of feeling around the issue.
