Sterling Petroleum Ltd, which operates 40 similar sites across the UK, opened the store at the former Jones Garage site at 17 West Street, west of Taunton. The company applied for a 24-hour off-sales alcohol licence, triggering objections from local councillors worried about potential public nuisance.
