Concerns over cheap, high alcohol, single serve beer sales is one of the reasons police are opposing the renewal of a Dunedin supermarket's liquor licence.
In submissions to the council, police say Hillside Road Pak & Save is in a vulnerable community which is exposed to higher levels of alchol harm and they point to disorder incidents within a one kilometre radius of the supermarket.
Athough they concede they cannot link the harm to specific alcohol sales from that store. Alcohol harm prevention officer acting senior sergeant Ian Paulin says cheap single serve alcohol sales at off licences are a worry for police.
