The rollout of Woolworths Metro to Fountain Street, Alexandria has gained over 1400 signatures to local resident Andrew Wong’s petition against the conversion, attracted media coverage by 2GB, SMH, Nine News. Local residents have also voiced their concerns over local social media pages with issues ranging from inflated prices, a dominance in the the area already with 3 Metros close by, increased use of products with plastic packaging. The proposed loss of a fully stocked supermarket within a walking distance area is forcing many to drive on already congested roads in search of cheaper prices.

ARAG is holding a special community meeting to hear from Justin Nolan, Director of Metro, Woolworths Group & Lord Mayor Clover Moore, City of Sydney.

Be part of a grassroots community for a real community consultation with Woolworths. Hear what their plans are and be there to ask face to face questions & raise any concerns you have.
