Application for Expedited Review of Premises Licence for Spice Klub Wembley

The Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Sub-Committee was scheduled to consider an application for an expedited review of the premises licence for Spice Klub Wembley, located at Basement 93-95 Ealing Road, HA0 4BN. This application was made by the Metropolitan Police under the provisions of the Licensing Act 2003. The report pack indicates that the sub-committee was to consider information classified as exempt under Paragraph 7 of Part 1 Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, relating to the prevention, investigation, or prosecution of crime. The press and public were to be excluded from this part of the meeting.

The Licensing Act 2003 sets out the framework for the licensing of alcohol and entertainment in England and Wales. Under this Act, the Metropolitan Police, as a responsible authority, can request an expedited review of a premises licence if they believe that the licence holder has breached licensing objectives, such as the prevention of crime and disorder. The report pack does not detail the specific grounds for the Metropolitan Police's request for an expedited review, nor does it outline any recommendations made by the police or council officers. It is not known whether any recommendations were made or followed.

The meeting was scheduled to be held virtually via Zoom. The attendees included Councillor Parvez Ahmed, who was scheduled to chair the meeting, alongside Councillors Amandine Alexandre and Charlie Clinton. Other attendees were Devbai Bhanji, Omotolani Robson, Ruby Tung, Linda Legister, Arman Gevorgyan, Anu Prashar, Priscilla Pryce, Vanesha Haulkhory, and Serena Wright.
