LIB DEMS OPPOSE OFF LICENCE APPLICATION
30 Nov 2008
Councillor Greg Stone is to represent objectors at a magistrates hearing regarding a new off licence on Addycombe Terrace in December.
Greg says: "We opposed this application at the council licensing committee and feel there are already plenty of off licences in the area.
"We are concerned about the possible effect on anti social behaviour in Iris Brickfield Park."
The Lib Dem Focus Team also recently objected to an application by the Echo Bar on Chillingham Road to open after midnight and have external drinking areas.
"We are pleased to report that the company listened to concerns and dropped the proposal," says Councillor Greg Stone.
