sainsbury's greenery?

Just a thought - there used to be several trees and shrubs in the car park at Sainsbury's before the revamp and when I was there the other day (yes I know, should be pottering up and down LL's local shops with my hessian bag slung on the HUGE buggy) I noticed that they have all gone and there looks to be absolutely no provision for replacing them or putting in any planting at all. It's not on really. What can we do, anyone had a close look at the plans?

I chopped them all down to make paper for my kids to scribble on and then throw away!!!>:D

Ooooh you are inflammatory TT

Probably isn't room for them anymore, what with the smaller car park.

A serious point, self-mockery, witty off-topic replies, acceptance off same off-topic-replies, cheekiness and a sarcastic response?????

Well, this thread won't go down well with SOME people!

I guess it's possible the re-development hasn't finished and the greenery had to go while more robust changes were made, so perhaps they will be back soon?

[TillieTrotter]

Sorry for the sarcasm, couldnt resist it.:))

I hope the greenery comes back! A few trees can't take up that much room.

Don't apologise - that was my way of saying these are the posts I love!

Isnt there enough greenery in ED? We have a zillion trees and parks and stuff we are one big green lung. A few scraggy bushes at Sainsbos is a small price to pay for a better retail experience is it not?

A few less now though..........

Hmm me thinks something is afoot as all the greenery/shrubbery by Lidl in Peckham has been replaced with...paving slabs.

Everyone knows that this is not good, apparently this surface reflects more sun and heat back into the atmos which ain't good for the planet's atmos...or summat like that.

An update - I'm sure you will all be thrilled to learn that Sainsbury's have in fact planted some trees now at the edge of the car park leading up to the entrance.
