Do any customer never drop anything outside or any littering issues?
And we believe our business can operate responsibility and harmlessly within the community.
Thank you.
Nice and short.
Sweet.
Yeah.
Can I, since we do not have an object, okay, so Councillor Rebecca Sultana.
Thank you so much.
We, about two months ago, when he was in the subway for buying foods, luckily I managed to speak with him.
So, as I said, like, we don't create any noise.
Our canopy doesn't run, we don't use the canopy to create the noise.
We only use it in the morning time, and that's it.
The door opening doesn't make any noise and closing.
And, to be honest with you, most of 99...
So, when I first looked at this application, I actually thought it's the one opposite the Milan that's closed.
Opposite the Milan station has been closed now.
Oh.
That was 395.
Sorry, you're...
Sorry, opposite the Milan station has been closed now.
395, that was.
I changed the location to 379 Milan Road.
That is just immediately next to KFC.
Okay, so you're the same owner?
That owner is completely different.
He's licensed for them as well.
Okay, that's fine.
We never had any issue with that.
That's fine.
So, when I ask the question, then maybe you can reply.
So, my question is, I know you're saying about the noise, and you're not creating...
...tabs and everything, Uber delivery and Just Eat at 10.30, 10.35.
So, after that, there's no one coming because we don't do deliveries.
We set the times beforehand.
So, if we're granted till 1 a.m., as an example, the last delivery will be 12.30.
So, our staff need enough time to finish by 1 o'clock, and they have to come out from the shop.
So, what time does delivery start as soon as you open?
Oh, we set it up from 9 o'clock.
This is the delivery start from 9 a.m. till, at the moment, I'm telling you.
At the moment, it's 9 a.m. till 10.45 p.m.
Okay, and do delivery drivers, how many do you?
Oh, I don't create, I don't employ the deliveries.
It's the app ones, okay.
They provide the delivery.
The mobile ones.
And they never stay outside.
Like, as soon as the order comes, they came in.
And most of the drivers waited, you know, the council car park next to the KFC on that side.
So, that doesn't make it.
Councilor Liu Ahmed, did you have any questions?
You said the last order will be the 12.30.
So, how long does it take time to deliver or pick up?
So, it's going to straightaway ready.
The driver comes to take the food straightaway.
Okay, so, your shop will be closed at, you said, you mean, you apply for 1 a.m.
So, what time are you going to stop service from, or you want service until 1 a.m.?
Well, delivery will be stopped, as I said, 12.30.
There won't be any delivery after 12.30.
Put the customers at 1.00, 12.50, 12.45.
Then, how long is it going to take to clean up our breathing and closing your shop?
Oh, that's a good question.
We have promises to finish within 10 minutes, so, like, 1.10, that's it.
Say, as an example, we close at 11 o'clock at the moment.
By 11.15, they come out from the shop.
We leave sometimes half an hour windows to cleaning up and finish it.
So, basically, subway, we don't do so much.
After 11 o'clock and at closing time, you sweep the frontage of the premises so that it's
clear of litter.
You've agreed with the police, or that are on your operating schedule, rather.
They're not worded in the way that we would normally expect.
It's generally much tighter.
There'll be...
No.
No, no motorbike.
I never see any motorbike, because, as I said, I go to three other stores on the same road.
Sorry, just one other thing while it does come to me, because it is obviously mentioned,
the representation.
I mean, certainly, Father John Elliott's representation refers to the possibility of operating until midnight.
The longer I open, it's good for me, to be honest with you, it's generated more revenues.
But, rather than nothing, if you grant something, but, yeah.
But, previously, as I said, the other subway, I believe, there was open until 2 o'clock.
And, as I hope, one, I will do to respect that, and make it to one.
But, that's fine, I'll respect your...
I'd like to say, it's just something that...
...knowledge of everything they need to consider.
Thank you.
We could do...
Sorry, we could do one more thing, then.
Like, during the weekdays, we can close early, and weekend, which is Friday and Saturday.
After 11 to 1, to clean the frontage area.
I mean, the condition...
And the CCTVs.
...including remarks.
So, if you want to summarize.
So, yeah, as I said, like, if I grant the extended hours, I will respect the conditions, whatever you gave us.
Like, say, the example, cleaning.
Subway, we like to keep...
As a food shop, our main priority is to clean the shops, and outside, as well.
Even, sometimes, subway comes from the visit, and if they see any mark on the sign, they gave us points.
So, that's how we look into it, in the front, as well.
So, Simi, I'm just going to say about the deliberation, yeah?
Okay.
So, thank you for your contributions today.
The subcommittee will deliberate in a private session after this meeting ends, and Simi from Democratic...
Okay, so now, we're on the agenda 4.2, the application for a new premises license for Cable Street Mini Market.
Can be found on page 110 to 11.
Map showing vicinity on appendix 3, page 11.
If it's existing off-license, so the other owner, you take over the shop, you stop selling alcohol, or the other person?
Themselves, the old owner, is to...
Okay.
So, yeah, like, Councilor Rebecca Sultana, we've heard, like, a lot of people have sent...
Okay.
Yeah, so just as the business owners currently, if you've got the experience to have the shop since 2017...
In relation to Challenge 25, or the condition you put on...
Oops, the condition you've put on the operating schedule is a little bit vague.
Staff to be trained.
Are those conditions that your client is willing to agree to?
Yes, client...
Till prompts.
Presumably, you've got an electronic till prompt system, so that stuff...
Oops, doing this again.
Stuff is scanned through, and it will presumably ring up a price and what have you.
Is there something on there that says...
So, it will specifically say, check ID for this particular person.
Yeah.
Apart from that, I mean, I will say, obviously, the committee grants some of the other conditions will need a little bit of tweaking, but...
Important point about checking ID...
Sorry.
Oh, there was one...
Sorry.
CCTV, again, it's...
And you might have heard me mention it on the last one.
The committee, if they're going to grant the licence, would normally expect...
If you see the appendix...
In the police condition, just make sure that it's obviously...
You've got to have someone who's conversant with the CCTV.
I don't ask...
Taking ownership, there was no licence.
No, no.
No licence then.
But you do recall it having a licence beforehand?
No, I...
Do you know how many years before that you took over, before 2017, when it finished, the licence?
Take over, this time no licence.
Yeah.
No alcohol licence.
But you don't know the year it stopped?
Yeah.
You don't know?
No.
But you just know that there was one?
If I may check...
No, the reality is...
The thing it matters...
We're looking at it today.
He's not responsible for what may or may not have happened under a previous...
Yeah.
And particularly when it's that long ago as well.
So I think you just...
We know it's not licenced at the present, which is obviously why we are here.
Yeah.
So it's your proactive.
So now you've got the opportunity to kind of give your conclusion, a summary.
So go...
