There was one representation against this application from an interested party.

 

Ms Ruggiero, the only objector did not attend the hearing but expressed in her written representation that there were four existing premises with alcohol licences in the area and as such was against another one been granted. The representation related to the prevention of public nuisance and the protection of children from harm.  She was of the opinion that there was a litter problem in area. The representation also stated that the premise was on the route of young children going to school and college, that the premises would encourage young people to buy more drinks, and that the premises would not prevent children from harm.

 

The Licensing Officer in his report informed the sub-committee that there was a council bench directly opposite to the premise of the applicant. He stated that this bench was an attraction to passers-by to sit and resulted in their leaving their litter around.
