alcoholic drinks is to go to the Court of Appeal.

The Enterprise Grocery won a Supreme Court victory last week when a liquor licence refusal was overturned by the Chief Justice the Hon. Sir James Astwood.

But it was revealed during another liquor licence hearing on Friday, that the Enterprise case will now go to appeal.

It is believed local residents living in the Ducks Puddle area have gone ahead with the appeal.

They were furious with the Supreme Court decision to approve the licence, which they believe will lead to problems with public drinking and disorder in the area.

After hearing the decision the residents threatened a boycott of the grocery and the Market Place, which owns it.

But they have now decided to take the legal route to attempt to get the decision reversed again.

Many residents fear the area will become a haunt for litter louts and drunken troublemakers.

Yesterday Ms Renee Webb, PLP candidate for Hamilton East, said she had not heard that there will be appeal but, she said: "I expected it would go this way. I did not expect to hear so soon.'' She says she has been flooded with complaints from angry residents and she is against the licence.

In court yesterday, lawyer Mr. Mark Ray told the licensing justices that the Enterprise case was to continue to appeal.

Harrington Sound Workmen's Club, closed for more than ten years, intends to apply for a new liquor licence. For full story, see Page 5.
