housenan   10 #1 Posted August 8, 2018 Can anyone tell me why another off license is due to open in Woodhouse village. We have the Cooperative which is open until 10pm, McColls which is down the road and City Living which is in between them. Now that the video shop has closed there will be yet another "cheap booze place". Woodhouse is fast becoming a tip. What once used to be a busy village is now a place to be avoided. The only people being catered for are the residents living in the hostel down Beighton Road. Oh, I forgot to mention that we also have 3 pubs in the village, which have to compete for business. Can anyone tell me why the Cross Daggers is being allowed to fall into disrepair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

mickyboy   10 #5 Posted August 8, 2018 I think the charming residents of St Anne's keep it busy enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
hackey lad   3,950 #6 Posted August 8, 2018 Yay there hasnt been a Beighton road hostel blaming thread for a while?  Aka " the spike " . Off topic slightly but why, with all the alcohol outlets already mentioned , would the council think it would be a good idea to give a license to another one in such a small area ?

haddy   10 #7 Posted August 9, 2018 My understanding is that it hasn't been granted a licence yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alchresearch   214 #8 Posted August 9, 2018 I wouldn't worry too much, he hasn't got a licence to sell alcohol and he hasn't submitted any plans to the council for change of use from the old video shop.  I believe the chain who owns Bargain Booze are also looking into the matter of the name of the shop "Woodhouse Bargain Booze".

Rival business objections or residents saying there are too many off licences are not grounds to deny a licence.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nijinsky   10 #12 Posted August 10, 2018 Bargain Booze use to have a slogan, it was even on the side of their lorries. Lowering the price of booze to improve the quality of your life. I kid you not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
