I never had any problems finding anywhere to buy things. I think you will find that Sainsbury's is not developing the store so that it can provide a service that is not currently available in Brighton, it is developing the store so that people will shop there instead of the other supermarkets that are already in Brighton.
Good luck to the campaign. What exactly are they planning on knocking down to make way for the store anyway?
