PLANS to extend licensing hours at a cricket club have provoked objections from people living nearby.

Northallerton Cricket Club in Farndale Avenue, Romanby, has applied to serve alcohol and play music from 11am to 1am every day.

The club's existing licence allows it to serve until 11pm.

Five people living on nearby Bransdale Avenue have objected to the extension.

John O'Connor said: "As a 75-year-old man, I believe I have earned the right to have peace and quiet in my home."

Hambleton District Council will discuss the application on Wednesday.
