Community fights for shops after Woolies confirms supermarket closure | Region Canberra

The Dunlop community in Canberra is rallying against Woolworths' decision to close its local supermarket, citing falling foot traffic as the reason. Local MLA Yvette Berry has launched a petition that has garnered over 800 signatures, expressing the community's disappointment and concern for the impact on the area. Belconnen Community Council chair Lachlan Butler argues that Woolworths' decision contradicts their previous stance on supermarket needs in the area, and he urges the ACT Government to intervene or secure another supermarket operator for the site.
