1 Civic Licensing From: Joe Carnie Sent: 09 October 2025 18:01 To: Civic Licensing Subject: Late objection to strathmore hub licence Attachments: IMG_5385.mp4; IMG_5387.mp4 Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged CAUTION: This email originated from an external organisation. Do not follow guidance, click links, or open attachments unless you have verified the sender and know the content is safe. I am writing to formally object to the market licence granted for the Strathmore Hub. I understand that this objection is being submitted late; however, I am currently involved in legal proceedings against the Hub and was advised to keep my distance. I have only recently become aware that a market licence has been issued. My objections are as follows: 1. Unsuitable location and lack of parking – The area is too small to safely and effectively accommodate a boot sale. There is no proper parking provision for customers, which has led to significant disruption and congestion on the surrounding streets. 2. Access obstruction – On multiple occasions, residents have been unable to leave their homes due to blocked driveways, and a local business was prevented from accessing their garage to reach their vehicles. 3. Noise and disturbance – There was an incident where the car boot sale began setting up at approximately 4:30 a.m., which woke my disabled children. This had a serious impact on their behaviour and well-being for the following week and caused considerable distress, as they became frightened to go to bed thereafter. I have a video recording of this incident, which I will provide as supporting evidence. 4. General nuisance – The boot sale has become a persistent nuisance to residents on the street. The location is far too close to houses, creating ongoing issues with noise, access, and disruption to daily life. I have also gathered a petition signed by other local residents who share these concerns, which I will include with this correspondence. I respectfully request that the council review the licence granted to the Strathmore Hub in light of these issues and consider the impact this event has on residents and local businesses.
