This meeting of the Bradford Licensing Panel was scheduled to consider three applications for new and existing off-licences at premises in the Bradford district.

An application for a new Premises Licence at Cross Lane Market (3.Doc P - App 1b) was submitted to Bradford Council. The applicant, Mr Surkew Mohammed, wished to be able to sell alcohol from the premises from 8am to 11pm, 7 days a week.

Two representations from local residents were received by the Council. The residents raised concerns of criminal activity and anti-social behaviour which children have witnessed. The residents thought that these problems would worsen if the licence was granted.

West Yorkshire Trading Standards submitted an application for the review of the Premises Licence at Ela Polski Sklep (4. Doc Q- App 2_Redacted). The shop was licensed to sell alcohol from 9am to 2am, 7 days a week. Trading Standards stated that:

By selling smuggled and counterfeit tobacco products, Mr Asso Mohammed Ali, the licence holder for this business has shown a blatant disregard for the law and licencing objectives

Trading Standards recommended that the panel revoke the licence.

An application for a new Premises Licence was submitted to Bradford Council for Anni Off Licence (2. Doc R - App 1_Redacted). The applicant, Mr Afshin Amini, wished to be able to sell alcohol between the hours of 7am and 11:59pm, 7 days a week.
