Dear Sirs
I welcome the recognition by the Board that there is a growing problem in the West End, caused by the increased number of licensed restaurants and bars
The result has been that levels of antisocial behaviour are approaching that of the City centre. In fact they are the fourth highest in Glasgow. At night now, the area is full of people who have abused alcohol and behave intolerably. This is a residential area, with many families, and I know people who have been forced to move away.
The probems are spilling over into Hyndland Road. Until recently there were only two pubs there; now there are two licensed restaurants and another one about to open. These are efectively pubs with some food; one has recently been granted a late license.
Glasgow has an appalling record on health, we have higher levels of death from alcohol abuse than any other city in the UK. The levels of obesity have inceased greatly; largely due to overeating and overdrinking.
I hope the Board will begin pay more attention to the concerns of the residents and less to the comercial interests of landlords.
Yours sincerely
