Harringay Food 'Centre'

The last time I counted, in the stretch of GL from Manor House to Wood Green Tube stations, there were something like 40 food shops. 

These include three well known supermarkets and several of their 'local' versions and of course the many, varied and highly interesting independent shops selling so many interesting kinds of foodstuffs - often cheaper than the 'big boys' can. There are things I can buy in GL for a price that even Aldi and Lidl cannot match. 

It is for this reason, I assert that GL must be one of the most food rich areas of Europe. There is no more relaxing way to spend a Saturday than to potter up one side of the lane and back down the other, seeing what sorts of interesting goodies one can pick up. 

Given that, what I wonder was the soaring flight of imagination that lead the owners of the Harringay Food 'Centre' (a centre no less) to sink what must be around £100k into fitting out another food shop just off GL where the 341 stops? What riches do they aspire to obtain by such a move? 

I do believe the council now needs to step in and limit the numbers of any one kind of shop, just as they used to when I were a lad. 

If they don't we could end up with more shops selling food than sell mobile phone covers - and that would never do, would it?
