Labour Councillor Jo van den Broek emphasized the area's struggles with anti-social behavior, stating, 'The area around Charlton station is an absolute hotspot for anti-social behaviour, particularly on match days.' This raises concern that increasing alcohol availability through the post office could exacerbate existing problems.
Roy Light, legal rep for the applicant, argued that the new plans differ vastly from previous proposals, claiming, 'New evidence suggested Mr. Hussain was not responsible for the underage sale that took place in January,' indicating a shift in context and potential operational standards at the post office.
Local resident Brenda Taggart expressed community trust in applicant Faizan Arif but remained cautious, saying, 'I am very supportive, but I worry about the potential for future underage sales at the post office, echoing concerns from previous applications.'
