    There are already plenty of liquor stores in the area. We do not need another one in the neighborhood.

    I am an owner/occupier of a residence at James st, Windsor that backs onto the James St Reserve Park, I am already at the short end of the stick when it comes to public consumption of alcohol in the park and the litter and public urination (typically between the large tree and my balcony wall). A packaged liquor retailer will only make it worse. This will only create more issues for residents, council staff (who have to clean the park and surrounding streets) and more reporting to the council about these issues.
    I cannot reiterate more eloquently than the other objectors that express the same views. This will only increase the existing problems that are widespread.
    The Windsor end of chapel street is already a well serviced area for packaged liquor and is considered the nicer end without having the drunk and disorderly people causing violence, abuse, littering, and incidence of drunken people walking the streets. What is the need for the BWS? 90% of the restaurants within a 1km radius are not BYO, so there is not benefit. No more competition is required from the corporate liquor wholesalers.
    There is no on quantity or where people consume the alcohol. Windsor and Prahran already have a lenient liquor laws for the nightclubs in the area and the area does not require more
    Windsor is an area that attracts people from all over the city and state and it is not their playground. Where they play up and litter and urinate publicly is in the side streets where rate payers live. We are defenseless and it may seem like people are drawing a long bow to make the connection. The BWS is not even 100m from the James St reserve park where they drink on the swing and play sets. I'm powerless to deter them as I have to confront the drunks and people drinking in public from my back patio. Its a public nuisance and the police will do nothing to respond.
