The company was granted an application to open an off-licence liquor store at 29 Ensign St in December. However, the Halswell Residents’ Association appealed the decision to the John Bennett Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority last month. The application made by Mrs Gibbons and her husband, Richard, received 37 objections along with five petitions containing 32 signatures in opposition to the store. City council head of regulatory compliance Tracey Weston said the alcohol licensing team has had no formal communication that the application has been withdrawn. •Turn to page 4 BLINDS...Cleaned, Repaired & Restored...
