Land was sold by the authority for a public house, and the authority covenanted not to permit sales of alcohol within a half mile. They later sold land for a football stadium within that area and from where alcohol would be sold. The covenant was held to be limited to the acts of the council, and did not, because of the omission of explicit words from this clause as compared to others in the document, bind successors in title.
