Police have objected to a supermarket’s bid to sell alcohol 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Leicestershire Police has opposed the bid, saying it would cause more crime and anti-social behaviour in the surrounding area.

Applicants K S Retail Stores Ltd has told the council it would put measures in place to prevent problems resulting from extended sales hours.
