Re- Review of License for Sidney's off-license, 216 ealing road, wembley HA0 4QG

Dear sir/madam,

In respect to the review of Sidney's License to sell alcohol, I would like to present my objections based on the reality of such license impacting on our street in the past few years.

As a resident at **** Braemar Ave for 20 years, with a family I have witnessed a mass spoiling of our street and park.Braemar Ave at one time was a beautiful street with a beautiful park however since the introuduction of the license it has become a very troubling place.

I have tried numerous times to complain about various abuses due to this anti-social activity but it has not solved the issue and the good will of Sidney's has had no effect in any shape.

The following list is due to the license been given to Sidney's previously:

1.Men urinating openly on street and park, in the full glare of children and women. We have schools around the park and the men have no "morals" when it comes to being drunk and exposing themselves.

2.The street/park was very clean and tidy however now it has become dirty and littered with cans/bottles.

3.There are sometimes drunken men fighting and arguing, this causes fear for the residents.It appears that the activity of drinking has also brought in the business of drug dealing on the street and the park.

4.Our neighborhood has become very unattractive and we find cans/bottles thrown into our gardens.

The security of the area is not as it was, these people have no respect for the environment or for the residents especially the women and children.

5.The law agency has failed to prosecute or even deter the drinkers from causing a nuisance to the tranquility of the area.The beautiful space of One Tree Hill has been contaminated by litter due to the drinkers, it was a once a place for families and children to enjoy now it is a drinkers paradise.

6.The large congregation of men on the corner of Braemar and Ealing Rd creates fear for passers by and all in all also does nothing to encourage people to enjoy the business surrounding the area.

7.As winter arrives my children returning from school express fear as they walk up the street and dark corners are occupied by gangs of drunken men.

8.If as I have been contemplating moving away from the area the situation impacts on the attraction of the area and not only the price of our houses.

There are many other important issues at stake here and I would even encourage those that review licenses to meet the residents of Braemar Ave and I can assure them that they will find it very difficult to find any resident in favour of granting a license.

We want to reclaim our street from these people as we are now at their mercy.

We understand that the business at Sidney's will be effected however this was always a busy shop when there was no alcohol served and there are many other opportunities for them to avail to.

I request and in all humbleness to not grant the license as it is us as residents of Braemar Ave who have bared the brunt of the anti social activity.

Yours Sincerely and Hopeful for reason and logic to prevail.
