Details of representations

The representations submitted by Councillors Frederick Thompson and Melvin Wallace related to the excessive hours applied for by the applicant. Additionally, Councillor Thompson raised concerns that the later opening hours would encourage drinkers leaving local public houses at 00:00 to call in and buy spirits and other high strength drunks thus increasing their propensity to commit vandalism.  He further expressed concern that the objective of Prevention of Public Nuisance would be threatened as persons buying drink in the early hours were likely to become more boisterous and noisy as well as leaving a trail of drink and snacks related litter.

The other representations cover similar issues covering Prevention of Public Nuisance, Prevention of Crime and Disorder and Protection of Children from Harm.

This was a predominantly residential area and a closure time of  ...  view the full decision text for item 1.
