It comes after police told a hearing that Harehills has become a 'holiday resort' for street drinkers
A new Leeds shop has been barred from selling alcohol after protests from local people and the authorities.
Councillors on the licensing panel were warned that crime and anti-social behaviour would get worse. Harehills itself is part of Leeds’ cumulative impact area, which means any new shops or bars wanting an alcohol licence have to prove they can offer something different or improve the surrounding streets.
Among the objectors to the application was local councillor Salma Arif, who told the hearing of a local mum whose back garden has been used as a toilet by street drinkers several times. “It was such a big one, because it would have been on a very prominent site in the middle of Harehills Lane. If it had gone through it just wouldn’t have been helpful or conducive to what we’re trying to do down there.”Her fellow ward councillor Arif Hussain said: “It’s a great result. We have more than enough licensed shops and we’re finding a lot of challenges.
