Review of a Premises Licence: Unions Cafe, 373 High Road, Leyton, E10 5NA, Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee - Tuesday, 1st April, 2025 2.00 pm

The Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee met to review the premises licence for Unions Cafe, and decided to suspend the licence for one month. The review was prompted by an incident where the premises licence holder (PLH) obstructed Immigration Enforcement officers, leading to police involvement. The suspension aims to allow authorities to work with the cafe's management and assess their understanding of relevant training to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Grant of a premises licence at St James’s Food Store, 44 St James’s Street, Walthamstow, London E17 7PE, Licensing Act 2003 Sub-Committee - Thursday, 30th January, 2025 10.00 am

The Licensing Sub-Committee met to determine an application for the grant of a new premises licence for St James's Food Store, 44 St James's Street in Walthamstow. The Sub-Committee decided to reject the application due to the applicant's close family ties to the previous licence holder, whose licence had been revoked due to serious breaches of the licensing objectives, and their view that, given the short time that had elapsed, the business was essentially being managed in the same manner.
