Thanks to all that signed, we also had about 400 sign on hard copies left in town. Have a merry Xmas and hope we get some BIG news in the New Year.
In 2009 the following petition was posted online and in local businesses, and got over 1000 signatures (Big W for Ulladulla Petition), it was submitted and the proposal was denied. In time Franklins Ulludulla suffered and has closed its doors.
Many unemployed and now a vacant building. The town has gained little from the Woolworths project.
I would now like Big W and Woolworths Ltd consider taking over the Franklins building and giving Ulludulla a go with a Big W, even if it is a scaled down version and be a Big W Country.
To the Director of Big W, I am writing to you to ask for you to please consider setting up a small format Big W store in Ulladulla, NSW 2539. We the town folk of the district forwarded a petition of over 1000 signatures imploring this to occur in our town instead of at that time a proposed Woolworths store which was going to be detrimental to already established businesses.
See the link below for the online petition (which was only 1/10 of the signatures of the hard copy which was sent through): Big W for Ulladulla Petition The Woolworths developement has been completed and as we had forseen the Franklins store has closed down as have a couple of butchers which all have been in town for more than a decade. This has seen many become unemployed, which we also had foreseen.
Now again I am going to ask you to consider, taking over the Franklins premises which encompasses one of the largest council carparks in the area. We have seen a Rivers store open in the old Bunnings store, they did a six month trial and have gone well & have permanently opened as has Target Country which can't keep up with sales. This is where Big W could pick up the short fall and excel in our town. Please give Ulludulla a go?
