Minutes: The meeting was restarted as there was no sound on
the live stream when the meeting initially commenced. The Senior Technical Officer presented the
report and outlined the application. Applicant’s representative Mr Hopkins made the following points: i.
He was aware the premises was in a
cumulative impact zone and the issues which arose within the area. ii.
Had taken account of the representations
especially those made by the Police and as a result additional conditions had
been submitted to accompany the application. iii.
Proposed amendments to the
licensable hours. iv.
Had accepted conditions suggested
by the Police detailed in appendix 5 of PC Metcalfe’s presentation pack. v.
A ‘challenge 25’ condition was now
included, which required proof of age when purchasing alcohol using specified
ID. vi.
A written refusals record would be
maintained, detailing when the sale of alcohol had been refused. vii.
Proposed a minimum alcohol content
for spirits and also that a minimum of 4 cans of lager, cider or beer to be
sold at the premises. viii.
Proposed a condition that a
minimum of 2 staff had to be on duty, but in reality, it was likely that there
would be 4 staff members working at a time. ix.
Proposed that specified certain
people had to be on duty when alcohol was sold. x.
Proposed a condition that alcohol
supplied off the premises had to be in sealed containers and no alcohol could
be consumed on the premises. All alcohol containers had to contain the postcode
of the premises. xi.
Staff would be trained for their
role on induction and would have refresher training. Staff would also receive conflict management
training. xii.
Spirits would be displayed behind
the counter. xiii.
All displays of alcohol would be
covered by CCTV at all times. xiv.
Invoices for the premises purchase
of alcohol would be retained. xv.
Management staff to discourage
people loitering or drinking outside of the premises. xvi.
The CCTV would be monitored and
physical checks would be carried out. xvii.
The applicant was aware of
existing problems in the locality and did not want to add to any anti-social
behaviour (ASB). He wanted to make his shop less attractive to those with
alcohol problems and this was why he had amended the licensable hours being
sought in the application to 10.00 - 23.00 and also accepted the Police
suggestion to have a minimum strength of alcohol of 5.5%. xviii.
No small bottles of alcohol below
20cl would be sold on the premises. xix.
Comments had been made by some of
the residents that beggars hung around the ATM machines as they would ask
people taking money out for money to buy alcohol. xx.
The licensable hours will align
with the opening hours of the shop, so the shop would shut at 23.00 rather than
23.30 so that people returning from a night out would not be able to buy
alcohol. xxi. The minimum purchase was restricted to 4 cans to deter people trying to ‘pre-load’ before ... view the full minutes text for item 20/33/Lic |
