"7,721 people who were polled, 4,756 responded (61.6% - so higher than the General Election average). Of those, 7 were blank, 687 voted in favour of the store (14.5%) and 4062 (85.5%) voted against."
Zac has greeted the result with enthusiasm:
"This is an outstanding and decisive result by any standard, and we hope and believe Sainsbury¹s will now listen. If Sainsbury's wants to preserve its image as a socially responsible company, it needs to yield to the clearly expressed wishes of the people of Barnes. But if it chooses to ignore this overwhelming result, then we will take the campaign to a new level. The people have spoken and we will do whatever it takes to ensure they are listened to."
Sainsbury's decided to take part in the process by circulating the attached letter (click to enlarge).
