I live across from the premises who are applying for the onsite liquor license.
Currently the cafe is open from around 6am to 3.30pm Weekend mornings are extremely noisy with large crowds from around 7.30 to around12PM which increases traffic flow in Samdon Street and far less parking available in front of my townhouse.
My concerns are if the opening hours will be extended to allow for evening meals and associated serving of alcohol.
If opening hours are to remain as is will there be a dedicated time from which alcohol can be served.
Hamilton is already renowned for anti social behavior and this being a residential area I am concerned the negative behavior will spread to our street.

I preface the comments below by congratulating the new owners of Spur on how the reinvigorated cafe has enhanced the community .
However there is a concern that if if the licence is granted this would almost certainly lead to ;
1.An increase in parking of patrons vehicles to the detriment of neighbours relating to noise and loss of parking to those who have no off street parking.
2.It would potentially add to the already substantial problems with alcohol consumption in the Hamilton area particularly that which already filters down from licensed establishments in Beaumont Street to this area.
3. If the licence were to lead to an increase in operating hours the effect on the local area would be compounded. The footpath outside the cafe at present during operating hours is overly crowded with patrons (both dining in and takeaway)and alcohol consumption in that area would increase a physical impediment to locals walking with children /dogs etc on the public thoroughfare.
4.The noise factor is also a concern. This is a new facility moving in to an established area . At present it is a manageable concern re traffic/parking but that in all likelihood shall not be manageable with alcohol thrown into the equation and perhaps an increase in operating hours.
5.Should the licence be granted it is submitted that the current operating hours not be extended.
