Alcohol could be sold in Post Office despite police worries over crime hotspot

Alcohol could soon be sold at a Post Office in a crime hotspot despite objections from the police.

An application by Modi Stores Limited for a premises licence was being considered by Wirral Council. The licence would allow the store, which would be located on Princes Pavement in Birkenhead, to sell alcohol until closing time at 6pm.

It was under scrutiny because of its location in an area of central Birkenhead where the ability to sell alcohol in shops and supermarkets is restricted. This is because of alcohol related crime and anti-social behaviour in the area.
