The company behind the bid is national chain Thirsty Liquor. Thirsty Liquor wants to set-up the store in the Bloom Room Florist building. But the new outlet will not have the Thirsty Liquor branding and will be called “Redcliffs Darrell Fine Wine and Latham Spirits.” The application will be heard by the District Licensing Committee where the licensing inspector, police, medical officers of health and objectors will have the opportunity to present their case. The store has applied to open seven days a week from 9am to 10pm. Public submissions regarding the application close on <strong>February</strong> 21. Redcliffs Residents’ Association secretary Pat McIntosh said they would not be lodging an objection. “We have had a fair amount CHANGE OF SCENERY: A fine wine store may occupy the Bloom Room Florist building on Main Rd. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER of feedback from people, many were supportive of it and some were concerned but as an association, we did not think we should take a stand collectively,” she said. Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board member Darrell Latham said the board would happily support any residents who objected to the liquor outlet. “It is critically important that members of the Redcliffs community take the opportunity to have their voices heard on the application for a new Thirsty Liquor bottle store,” he said. Store owner Jugraj Singh was confident the store would not have a negative impact on the community. “Thirsty Liquor is a franchise. Some of the stores are bad and some of them are very good, that is down to the owner,” he said. Mr Singh said the store would offer a selection of wines, spirits, craft beer as well as a range of delicatessen and that only 10 per cent of alcohol sold would be RTDs. Local News Now Installing fire protection system forces tunnel closure Fire rages, homes at risk LYTTELTON TUNNEL will be closed on three consecutive nights in late <strong>February</strong> in order to install a multi-million dollar fire protection system. The closures are required in order to install and carry out testing of a new $29 million fire protection system in the tunnel. The NZ Transport Agency has planned to close the tunnel between 11pm and 4am on <strong>February</strong> 24, 25 and 26. The tunnel will open to traffic for 10min on the hour each of these nights. Outside of these times, only emergency vehicle access will be available. NZTA senior project manager Chris Collins said work on the project will be completed in April. “Installing the new fire protection system often involves working in confined spaces. Single and full tunnel traffic lane closures are critical to successfully completing this important project. To minimise their impact, they are timed for late at night and in the early hours of the morning when tunnel traffic is at its lightest,” he said. new client deal 20% off any service booked with Ashlee.
