Singh Trading has been granted a liquor off-licence to operate a bottle store in this former cafe in Pleasant Point, but the decision is now subject to an appeal.
A Pleasant Point primary school has lodged an appeal against a decision to allow a new bottle store to open the small South Canterbury town. St Joseph’s School principal and board of trustees member Aroha Stewart confirmed an appeal had been made to the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority (ARLA) but would not comment further. On April 6, the Timaru District Licensing Committee (DLC), comprising Sharyn Cain (commissioner), Peter Burt, Gavin Oliver and David Jack, approved Singh Trading (2016) Ltd director Mandeep Singh’s application to open a Bottle-O liquor store at 57 Main Rd, Pleasant Point, in premises previously used for a cafe.
