LOL, just looking through the latest on the Chiswick W4 newsletter and it talks about the redesigncs9.com website and their "spokesperson" David Lesniak.
Actually David Lesniak is one of the co-owners of Outsider Tart. So it seems that all opposition is basically being whipped up and driven from just Outsider Tart.
They've attempted to get other retailers onboard and put signs up, etc... but have so far only managed to get the electrical and light shop next to Devonshire Road to participate.
Interestingly a search for David Lesniak also turns up:
The only other name that constantly comes up in organising opposition to CS9 is Susann Jerry, but I can trace her back to 2009 as working for Outsider Tart http://www.chiswickw4.com/default.asp?section=community&link=http://appasp.chiswickw4.com/server/app/forum/ShowMessage.asp?ID=523258 and she was the one who started the Chiswick W4 thread asking people to sign a petition against CS9 when the redesigncs9 website was launched: http://www.chiswickw4.com/default.asp?section=community&link=http://appasp.chiswickw4.com/server/app/forum/ShowMessage.asp?ID=1236639
Basically... the entire opposition is just Outsider Tart. They are just being extremely active, as if it's the most important thing that they can do... more important than, say, fixing their food hygiene rating by sorting the bad layout of their cafe.
Their activity is getting to the point that I wonder how feasible it is to have a constant vigil outside their premises of cyclists at the weekend, just distributing leaflets with their food hygiene rating on it :)
