Kingston Independent Residents Group

TO: Marks and Spencer plc

We, the undersigned, urge Marks and Spencer to open one of their new food stores in New Malden.

New Malden is bouncing back post-COVID, with over £100,000 allocated to High Street recovery by the GLA, a vibrant market and despite the economic situation bustling with shops.

Over the years, the food offering in New Malden has declined: the Co-Op closed their doors, Iceland closed their doors and now Wilko is closing. There are two units which could suit a supermarket - these are at the Wilko site and at the former Tudor Williams site.

Residents in New Malden for many years have suggested and requested an M&S in the town, and we are writing to affirm it will be well used by a loyal group of shoppers.

M&S provides something different, and we urge you to support New Malden\'s economy by opening a new store here either at the Wilko site or the Tudor Wiliams site.

Yours,
