Additional documents:
Minutes: The Licensing Panel considered a request submitted by Weights and Measures for the review of the Premises Licence in respect of Stall 13 Abingdon Market. The review was submitted on the grounds of prevention of crime and disorder and public safety.
Mr M Marshall presented the case on behalf of Weights and Measures, the Licensing Authority and Health Safety. Mr G Shaw from Health and Safety provided additional information regarding the health and safety concerns. They both highlighted the serious concerns of the responsible authorities regarding the sale of counterfeit alcohol.
The Licence Holder, Mrs K Gandhi, was in attendance supported by her husband and represented by her solicitor, Mr T Colebourne. Mr Colebourne emphasised that the incident while serious was a regrettable one off and recommended the Panel to impose a brief suspension on the licence instead of a revocation.
The Licensing Panel considered carefully the evidence submitted by all parties, the Council’s Statement of Licensing Policy and the Secretary of State’s guidance. It expressed serious concerns regarding the operation of the premises and the sale of counterfeit vodka in the premises. It agreed that it had no confidence that the premises would not continue to significantly undermine the licensing objectives.
Resolved:
That the Premises Licence in respect of Stall 13 Abingdon Market be revoked.
