Residents living around a cricket club near Falmouth have expressed their displeasure at the club's application for an alcohol and music license.

Constantine Cricket Club, located in Brill, on the outskirts of Constantine Village, have put an application in for an alcohol and live music license that would allow the club to serve alcohol and put on both live and recorded music seven days a week.

Residents have said that, while they support the club when it comes to cricket, they believe the granting of the license would essentially turn it into a pub.

Derek Parkes, who lives roughly close to the ground, said: "The vast majority of residents that live around the cricket club are totally up in arms against it.

"There are people that have moved here specifically to be in a quiet community.

"We support the cricket club for playing cricket.

"The parking is also an issue.

"On match days it’s a nightmare but it’s only on match days.

"If it starts happening during the week or at night it gets worse and worse.

"It totally changes the ethos of the community here."

A spokesperson for Constantine Cricket Club said: "Constantine Cricket Club have an ongoing application for an on-license at their clubhouse in the village.

"As with a great many other cricket and sporting clubs throughout the County, that have similar facilities.

"It is intended that the bar will operate on match and practice days and occasional committee meetings and fund raisers.

"We have no intention or desire to operate outside of these times.

"The purpose of this activity is to raise funds for the club, youth training and to enhance club spirit."

It remains to be see whether the application will be granted.
