Greek restaurant Gyros on Byres Road has been granted permission to sell alcohol despite a community council objection.
Dowanhill, Hyndland and Kelvinside Community Council raised concerns over the number of licensed venues in the area and the impact on neighbours. However, the city’s Licensing Board decided to hand a provisional premises licence to the restaurant/takeaway.
A community council representative had argued there “are already too many licensed premises on Byres Road and its lanes”. She said the location, on the ground floor of a four-storey residential tenement, would “only increase overall disturbance to local residents in particular while intensifying the night-time economy”.
