Peterborough City Council has been asked not to grant alcohol licence to a convenience store at Fletton Quays due to concerns about anti-social behaviour.
The complaint further added that there are already cases of public drinking and people smoking drugs and doing illegal things around the area.
“This will likely aggravate the situation by letting people purchase alcohol and take it away to sit in the communal gardens of Fletton Quays and the surrounding area to drink at any time of day and night potentially causing nuisance, noise and anti-social behaviour for us residents.”
The complaint also raised concerns about residents being left liable for any damage done to the surrounding area through their service charge. The area is managed privately and concerns were also voiced about the fact that cleaning costs have gone up recently due to what the complaint describes as non-residents walking by and not using the bins provided.
Stating that it is a residential area, the complaint adds that the shop selling will make the area a lot more unsafe and unpleasant, bringing a lot “more unwanted people and attention/easy targets as this is not patrolled by police or any CCTV”.
