Greens call on supermarkets to protect against stock piling

News of a second lockdown across England was announced over the weekend and with it came concerns of access to groceries. Chorley Green Party are calling on supermarkets to urgently limit sales of baby formula amid worries of limited supplies for parents.

In spring we saw necessary products such as this sell out fast leaving them depleted providing little or no access for others. It’s vital parents have a continuous supply of the essential product and supermarkets are responsible for ensuring this.

With job losses and economic hardship growing, many parents will be unable to stockpile such items. Limiting number of purchases per customer provides a fair access to all. Supermarkets need to act quickly to ensure shelves remain stocked.
