Chinese restaurant plan for London tower block gets up noses of local residents
Briefly

Residents of Forbes Apartments have expressed strong objections to the proposed Jincheng Alley Chinese restaurant due to concerns about food smells and increased delivery traffic. The restaurant seeks a license for on and off-sale alcohol and music. No objections were raised by police or council environmental officers, but several residents voiced their worries at a council meeting. Jincheng's legal representative argued that the building's design anticipated a restaurant, and securing a license would enforce management controls for operations and customer dispersal.
