KEEP THE VILLAGE ALIVE
We have most of the shops we
need in the Village, but they will
not survive unless YOU shop there.
Ham & High
KEEP IT LOCAL
BOYCOTT TESCO! SHOP LOCAL
Avoid Finchley Road and chains like Sainsburys, Boots, Tescos and the other mass monsters. Boycott Tesco
in Hampstead and England's Lane.
Find the horror at Tescopoly
Cut car use in Belsize
Stop driving to Finchley Rd and
shop daily in the Village. It might
cost a bit more, but everyone
benefits.
