The shop near the station is closing its doors for good. It has been a long and draining struggle but I am relieved that our neighborhood will be safer now. Let this be a reminder that we must stay alert even when the battles seem unfair.
There has been a bew shop opening up near the train station in Winchester on Stockbridge Road. It sells legal highs, BB guns and drug paraphanelia. This is outrageous that this shop has been allowed to open and should be shut down immediately. When the teenagers start buying the BB guns and people will be hurt and the criminal damage rate will increase greatly.
The emails I get from parents who are afraid for their kids on the way to school are heartbreaking. Even when progress feels slow, I refuse to let this shop stay put and endanger our neighborhood.

Seeing this much support for our neighborhood safety has been exhausting but deeply validating. We have clearly touched a nerve that the local authorities can no longer ignore.

I have 2 teenagers still at school, both of whom have mentioned this place. It's a complete recipe for disaster actively promoting and associating drugs,and violence as 'legal'.

utterly flabbergasted that local city council would have even considered granting a license for such a shop. Come on Winchester city council get your act together and have this closed immediately
