Proposals for a new off-licence in Walthamstow have been approved despite numerous objections from residents concerned about potential antisocial behaviour in the area.
Residents voiced concerns that an off-licence open until 11pm could exacerbate petty crime and attract more antisocial behaviour to their streets, citing existing issues.
The licensing committee imposed several conditions on the new shop, including mandatory CCTV operation, ID checks for younger customers, and restrictions on alcohol sales.
In response to community concerns, measures will include providing residents with a phone number for reporting disturbances, emphasizing police cooperation in addressing potential issues.
