Danials Newsagents, 270 High Street, Wallsend

The sub-committee considered an application from the Local Weights and Measures Authority to review the premises licence of Danials Newsagents.

The Sub-Committee has grave concerns over the impact on the licensing objectives at this Premises and that this application came very close indeed to a full revocation, but a suspension on this occasion would be proportionate and a deterrent to the irresponsible trading described. - The Licensing Sub-Committee's Decision on Danials Newsagents.

The sub-committee heard from the applicant, Northumbria Police and the Director of Public Health, who had all made representations in support of the application. They also heard from the premises licence holder. The minutes do not record any details of the arguments made.
