Content
The Sub-Committee resolved to not serve a Counter Notice to
uphold the objection, and considered a modified Temporary Event
Notice as follows:
1.
Supply of
Alcohol
23:00 hours to 01:00 hours.
2.
Late Night
Refreshments
23:00 hours to 01:00 hours.
3.
Regulated
Entertainment
23:00 hours to 02:00 hours.
4. However, in
doing so the Sub-Committee encouraged the premises user to ensure
that the premises close no later than 02:30 hours to take account
of nearby local residents. Further, the
Sub-Committee imposed the following conditions from the allied
premises licence to the modified Notice:
2.2 There shall be
a notice at all exits at the venue used by patrons asking them to
leave quietly and respect local residents.
2.3 An adequate
CCTV system shall be installed, maintained and operated at the
premises. The CCTV system shall cover all licensed areas and all
entrances and exits. The system shall
record continuously whilst the premises is open to the public and
for licensable activities. Images must be of an evidentiary
standard and be date and time stamped. The system installed must
retain all images for a minimum of 28 days and these must be made
available for the Police to view or remove on request. A member of
staff trained in working the system and capable of downloading
images shall be on duty whenever the premises is open to the
public.
2.4 All persons involved
in alcohol sales must receive full and adequate training on the law
relating to licensing legislation, including but not limited to
sales to underage children and sales to intoxicated people. A
written record of the training that each person has received shall
be maintained. All persons involved in alcohol sales shall have
refresher training every 6 months. The training log and records are
to be provided to the Police, the Local Authority or the Licensing
Authority on request.
2.5 An effective
'Challenge 25 Policy' shall be implemented and maintained in place
at the premises. Any
persons appearing to be under the age of 25 who attempts to
purchase alcohol must be challenged in respect of their age and
required to provide adequate proof that they are over the age of 18
before they are sold or supplied with alcohol.
2.6 Only photographic
based forms of identification shall be accepted as proof of age
in respect of suspected underage sales. These must be
accredited to the PASS scheme or subsequent equivalent but could
also include passport, HM forces ID card,
driving licence, national ID card.
2.7 A refusal log to
record all attempts to purchase alcohol that were refused shall be
kept on site and all refused sales recorded. The refusal log is
to be provided to the Police, the Local Authority or the Licensing
Authority on request (this can
have no effect as the TEN only permits on supply of alcohol anyway,
no off sales).
