Moston Lane was once described as a 'social centre' and a 'great shopping street'
The fortunes of a Manchester high street, once popular for its independent shops and businesses, declined to a point where it was known as Manchester's "alcohol alley".
Back in 2010, Cllr Karney said: "Manchester council needs to crack down on shops turning themselves into off-licences. It will create an explosion of alcohol problems in the area which is now saturated with cheap booze. Council chiefs refused an application for a 23rd licensed premises on the street after 600 residents signed a petition complaining. Over a decade later, residents raised fresh concerns about anti-social behaviour and crime around Moston Lane, after a nearby restaurant agreed to cut its hours to be granted an alcohol licence.
