A South Manchester estate packed with students has been described as a 'drunken, drugged up conurbation' with a 24/7 party atmosphere. Long-term residents of the Fallowfield Brow area say they are 'frightened' to be out at night and some have moved elsewhere as a result.
They are often woken up from their sleep by the 'giant noise fest', councillors were told this week, and churchgoers regularly report finding broken glass, vomit and litter on Sunday mornings. The comments came after a new Go Local convenience store in Wilmslow Road applied for an alcohol licence.
The former kebab shop has been used as a convenience store for months, opening until 3am. The new owner, Umar Kaleem, originally applied for a licence to sell alcohol until 4am, but this was later cut back to midnight.
