In accordance with the Licensing Act 2003, following the
submission of an application for a new premises licence for
Werrington Green Post Office, 2 The Green, Werrington Village,
Peterborough, PE4 6RU, which had attracted representations in
objection to the application, the Licensing Authority was required
to hold a hearing.
A summary of the issues raised by persons objecting to
application included:
·
The local residents believed that the sale of alcohol from
the Post Office until late at night would encourage and increase
vulnerability to crime.
·
Sufficient numbers of other premises in the local area were
authorised to sell alcohol to meet demand.
·
Parking issues would increase due to the Post Office being
open late and their customers would be trying to park in the same
area as customers of other licensed premises in the immediate
vicinity.
·
If a licence was granted there would be an increase in
alcohol related incidents including disturbances from customers
purchasing alcohol.
·
An increase in littering in the vicinity of the
premises.
·
An increase in access of alcohol to young person’s
either through theft from the store or through ‘proxy
buying’ (where an under 18 year old persuades an over 18 year
old to purchase alcohol on their behalf).
