Asda’s Alcohol Plan Blocked by Council | Glasgow News
Description
Asda’s bid to sell booze at its Tranent petrol station hit a wall after the local council blocked the license, citing safety fears and community concerns — especially with the station just 100 meters from the main store, where staff already battle shoplifting. Councillor Lee-Anne Menzies warned it could fuel crime, while Asda argued fuel users deserve alcohol access — but the council sided with public safety, denying the application despite offering a faster reapply window.
