Read my letter to the Planning Officer, Peterborough City Council, regarding NNA's views regarding the amalgamation of the newsagents and closing Thresher Off Licence into a convenience store at 3, Winslow Road, Netherton.  NNA Letter 12 September 2008

It looks as though heat is coming into the planning application for the 'merging' of the off licence into the newsagents and post office.   The Committee at their last meeting did NOT raise the matter although they were informed.  There was some conversation but no positive Minute.  There is a remote possibility that residents  should be concerned about the merging - does it mean that the beer, wine etc licence permission will now transfer to the proposed new convenience shop or store.  This movement is not a planning matter but a subject for the Licensing Authority so, I believe, we must watch for a transfer or a cessation of licence.   Residents can, of course, raise the matter if they so wish, and it may have some bearing upon the application - think of cars, noise, kids drinking, neon signs and so on.
