Petition to fix-up deteriorating Bicester Sainsbury’s

Donna Ford, an independent councillor for Bicester East, has launched a petition over growing concerns about the deteriorating condition of the Sainsbury’s store and the area outside in Pioneer Square Bure Place.

The petition has received more than 160 signatures.

She is calling on Simon Roberts, CEO of Sainsbury’s to personally visit the store and commit to a comprehensive fix plan.

She says it is “disheartening to see a prominent establishment lagging in providing high-quality services”.

She said: “Our local Sainsbury’s plays a crucial role in our community, serving countless families who depend on it for their daily shopping needs.

“Unfortunately, over time, the condition of the store has deteriorated significantly, affecting both the shopping experience and the store’s contribution to the community’s image.”

By Mr Roberts visiting the store in-person, he will be able to witness first-hand the obstacles the community faces.

His intervention, working alongside staff and local leaders to draft a realistic and impactful plan for improvement, could pave the way for transformative change.

Ms Ford added: “Our local Sainsbury’s plays a crucial role in our community, serving countless families who depend on it for their daily shopping needs.

“Bicester deserves a store that mirrors the vibrancy and pride of our town.

“A revitalized Sainsbury’s would not only uplift the spirits of its dedicated customers but also attract new visitors, contributing positively to Bicester’s growth and economy.”

Sainsbury’s has been contacted for comment.
