Tesco's Licence Application

Earlier today we added our comments to the growing body of letters and e-mails opposing Tesco's application for an alcohol licence at its Express store on the corner of Maida Vale and Sutherland Avenue.

Tesco's lost its first application earlier this year when a licence committee at Westminster Council (chaired by our next door neighbour, Cllr Margaret Doyle) refused to grant the licence. They have now appealed to the courts and the hearing will be held tomorrow.

We are particularly concerned about the potential for an increase in anti-social behaviour and disturbance for local residents in Lanark Road, Lanark Mews, Atholl, Braemar and Dundee Houses and Hamilton Court.

Fingers crossed for Tuesday!
