Plans for the Seafront Mini Market in Bournemouth to sell alcohol from 8am to 3am have raised significant objections from residents, police, and local organizations. Concerns focus on potential public safety issues, including increased anti-social behavior and street drinking. Dorset Police highlighted that the proposal could exacerbate existing problems, while the YMCA expressed worries about its impact on individuals dealing with addiction. A previous application for the store was denied in 2022 for similar reasons. Local leaders caution that extended alcohol sales could pose risks to children and heighten aggression in the area. A licensing committee will discuss these objections.
