Peterborough City Council has refused an alcohol licence application submitted by the owner of a Romanian grocery shop in Peterborough .

Larisa Cretu, owner of Market 7 Ltd on Brassey Close, hoped to sell alcohol from the business between the hours of 9am and 7pm Monday to Friday, 9am and 6pm on Saturdays, and between 9am and 4pm on Sundays.

Ms Cretu proposed a number of measures including: installing a full CCTV system, prohibiting anyone from consuming alcohol on the premises, selling no 'super-strength' beers or ciders (over 6.5% ABV), as well as alcohol sales making up no more than 10 per cent of the premises' total sales area.

However, Cambridgeshire Constabulary objected to the application.

The force was concerned that the premises fell within the Millfield Public Spaces Prot
