Additional documents:
Minutes: The Licensing Panel considered an application for the Review of a Premises Licence in respect of Los Gringos, 1 Dickson Road.
Mr R Williams, solicitor, gave evidence on behalf of the Licensing Authority who had submitted the review and on behalf of the other two licensing authorities the Police and Health and Safety. This evidence was supplemented by representations from Mr M Marshall, Licensing Authority, Mr G Shaw, Health and Safety and Mr D Stephenson, Commercial Waste. Mr Williams highlighted the problems of crime and disorder in the area especially post 3am, the opaque nature of the operation of the premises and problems with the incorrect disposal of waste.
Mr M Woosnam, solicitor, presented evidence on behalf of the Licence Holder. The Licence Holder, Mr Amri was also in attendance.
The Panel asked Mr Amri a number of questions regarding the licence and his role in the operation of the business. The Panel members considered that Mr Amri’s evasive and limited responses indicated that he was not a suitable person to hold such a licence and that he was underminin the licensing objectives by holding a licence especially in a problematic town centre location.
Resolved:
That the Premises Licence in respect of Los Gringos, 1 Dickson Road, be revoked. |
