A second store in Fishponds Road wants to sell alcohol late at night.
A convenience store in Eastville was granted longer hours to sell booze despite police concerns it would fuel incidents involving alcoholic sex workers in the area.
Global Food Mart in Fishponds Road now has a licence to stay open and sell alcohol until 2.30am on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
“Some of the sex workers are alcoholics and frequent the local convenience stores regularly,” she said.
“The community’s already serviced by a 24-hour convenience store in Fishponds Road which is in near proximity, so there is little justification, need or requirement to extend the hours requested.”
