No Superstores in Ulverston Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/no-superstores-in-ulverston.html Online petition signatures en-us Sun, 12 Apr 2026 01:31 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mrs Anonymous [Signature #357] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/14298957?utm_medium=rss The integrity of ulverston character is maintained due to its independent traders and 'village' feel . I believe that to allow large multichannel supermarkets such as mountain warehouse and sainsbury will erode its appeal.
Large national chains often contribute to the demise of independent stores, that hold appeal for Tourists and visitors, we should be preserving our 'uniqueness' not knowingly driving its demise .

Such a development would threaten all the independent businesses which generate the town's wonderful individuality, putting many local people out of business and out of work, ultimately destroying the town's soul. Ulverston doesn't deserve to become just another homogenous, faceless British ghost town.

It will create a dangerous amount of traffic near the end of Daltongate. I cannot understand how it is acceptable to build on a greenfield site. It will spoil the lovely appearance of Ulverston as you enter from Barrow and will make it look like every other pseudo-American clone town. I do all my shopping in Ulverston's small shops.

The evidence shows that
the large anonymous global chains who take over in areas have no genuine interest in the community other than the economic. The developers have balance sheets and the potential retailers will determine the architecture and design. In the end it is the local people who will have to live with it.

The truth is out, all you want is the cash for the real estate and to hell with the fabric that helps to make my town FEEL like a community, and that starts with a high street that has locally run shops. I can almost see the tumbleweed on the street now if this supermarket gets the nod. No more Robinsons for me...still plenty more breweries to choose from.

It will also blight this vibrant town by adversely impacting small independent retailers such as butchers, veg shops and market. Ulverston currently has a thriving town centre of diverse independent shops - this will threaten it and have a likely follow-on detrimental impact on festivals and tourism in the town. Result: more empty shops and reduced footfall, negative feel.

There is no room for another supermarket ....this would ruin this town and make it a town of empty shops!! NO NO NO

I am shocked to hear that it may even be considered legible on paper to allow for another supermarket to muscle in- threatening local business and town centre identity. I sincerely hope the right actions proceed from this vefy sensible petition. Yes Ulverston must and will evolve with changing times- but please do not breech this rare historic market town.

Why spoil a thriving special market town which has such a good community spirit, with another supermarket. It is not needed, would create traffic problems and destroy existing businesses.

Supermarkets have their place, but not in Ulverston. It will be a corporate blot on a small, characterful market town and the death knell to independent traders.

Local independent business must be nurtured and given a chance to flourish.
