Group urges Oxford council to ban alcohol

At last night's Oxford City Council meeting the deacons of Meadowbrook Baptist Church presented a letter to the Oxford City Council. The letter urged the council and mayor to consider banning the sale of alcohol in the city. The council did not respond to the letter.

My thinking is the council will not consider the proposal because restaurants (like all of the new ones built over the last decade) would be very unhappy to see their profits decrease when they can't sell beer.
