Liquor shop licence declined after concerns about alcohol-related harm
A new liquor shop in Amberley will not go ahead after the local council turned down its application following a public outcry.
“Put simply, the objectors do not want another bottle store in their community,’’ the Hurunui District licensing committee said in its decision, which comes after a three-day hearing in September.
Townill Ltd director Michael Brown applied for the off-licence earlier this year, to trade as a Thirsty Liquor shop on the main street of Amberley.
Of 93 objections from members of the public, the committee recognised 56 as being valid. Read more here.
