More than 70 people oppose cricket club’s bar extension over 'drunkenness' fears
More than 70 neighbours have opposed a cricket club’s bid to extend its bar – claiming there are already problems with noise and “drunkenness”.
The cricket club's new licence holder applied to vary its premises licence.
This would extend the area inside the club where drinks can be served including covered terraces and grassed areas next to the building.
Walmley Cricket and Sports Club in Eldon Drive, Walmley, is seeking to show films, hold indoor sporting events and play recorded music indoors from 11am until 11.45pm Monday to Thursday, 1am Friday and Saturday and 10.30pm on Sunday.
Live music is intended to be hosted only from 11am until 11pm from Monday to Sunday.
Neighbours objecting to the plans say music currently stops at 11pm – and many of the 74 objectors are concerned about noise continuing later into the night.
Objections have been received by the council from residents living in nearby Penns Lake Road, Welcombe Drive, Milverton Close and Wrens Park Avenue.
