Gateshead Council have received an application for an off licence to be established in the shop at 94 Oakfield Road, currently occupied by a shop selling fire places. If granted, the premises will be open from 8am to 11pm Mondays to Saturdays, and 10am to 10.30pm Sundays.
Rules imposed by the government prevent councillors from lodging objections to licence applications but they can represent residents at licence hearings.
A petition against the application can be found at the JCB newsagents on Oakfield Road, Whickham.
Local Lib Dem councillors are holding a meeting shortly with residents who are opposing the application.
