The Licensing Sub-Committee granted a new premises licence to Royal Express, located at 12 Faircross Parade, Longbridge Road, Barking, IG11 8UN. The licence allows for late night refreshment from 11pm to 5am, Monday to Sunday, and the sale of alcohol from 9am to 2am daily, superseding the existing licence. This decision came after the Metropolitan Police and the Council's licensing authority withdrew their objections based on an amendment to the original application, which had sought a 24-hour alcohol sales licence.
