New Liquor Store (Bottle O?) proposed for Milton Street / Barrington Street Corner
A New liquor store is being proposed for Milton St / Barrington Street corner and submissions are due to close by 6th September. Very little information has been released about this latest ?'Bottle O' liquor store - possibly very similar to the one opened in Selwyn Street on Friday.
Despite submissions this Selwyn Street liquor store was able to obtain a license and open.
There are already adequate options in Barrington Mall / Spreydon area without another liquor store encouraging our youth and already alcohol dependent residents living/ drinking in the Barrington Park area.
There is Super Liquor Barrington, Barrington Fresh Choice and other bars in the area - do we need another one in the area???
Please sign the online petition via Change.org or write in a submission to let them know your views and if /where possible please speak in support of your views.
To make an objection please email: alcohollicensing@ccc.govt.nz
Objections have even more impact than petitions apparently.
Thanks for your support to make our community safer and healthier!
Warm Regards Julie Tobbell.

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
