Three east Leeds councillors are fighting a convenience store’s plans to sell alcohol, amid fears about street drinking in the area.
Halton Convenience Store, on Cross Green Lane in Halton, has applied for a licence to sell booze from 7.30am to 11pm every day. But local councillors for the Temple Newsam ward, Helen Hayden, Debra Coupar and Nicole Sharpe, have objected to the licence being given, ahead of a hearing next Tuesday.
A letter sent on behalf of the Labour trio said they were concerned about the length of time the store would be licensed for each day, and claimed there “enough establishments” already selling booze locally.
