Restrictions on where alcohol can be sold in a crime hotspot could remain in place for another three years.
Wirral Council’s Cumulative Impact Policy for central Birkenhead was brought in in 2017 after a plea was made by ward councillors at the time to tackle anti-social behaviour in the area.
The policy means that anyone applying for a licence in the area will be subject to extra scrutiny to make sure alcohol-related issues are tackled.
