But some residents are not happy
Disgruntled residents have hit back at plans made by a Northampton newsagents to extend its opening hours. Owners Kandiah and Vasuki Rajarathnam have applied to the council to be allowed sell alcohol 22 hours a day, seven days a week.
West Northamptonshire Council’s licensing sub-committee will be asked to make a decision on the application at a meeting next Wednesday, April 19. Northamptonshire Police have made no comment on the application but 26 residents and a councillor are against the changes. The shop has been allowed to open from 6.30am until 12am since 2010. But one resident claimed the application permitted by the former Northampton Borough Council showed the authority "did not care about the people that live close to this shop".
