The Sub-Committee carefully considered all the evidence
before it, including the Premises Licence Holder’s
representative’s submission and the representations from the
Responsible Authorities.
It noted that the Closure Order had not been appealed and
the deadline of 21 days had lapsed. 
However, the Premises Licence Holder’s representative
confirmed they would be approaching the Magistrates Court to seek
permission to lodge an appeal.
It noted that the Premises Licence Holder undertook
training for all staff members and had not known that training
records had to be presented upon request.
The representations from the Responsible Authorities
primarily related to the Licensing Objective ‘Protecting
Children from Harm’ had not been promoted, together with the
lack of confidence in the management of the premises. It was also
noted that a number of illegal vapes had been seized on separate
occasions from the property.
The Sub-Committee’s primary objective had been to
support and reinforce the promotion of the Licensing Objectives, in
particular the ‘Prevention of Crime and Disorder’ and
‘Protecting Children from Harm’.
The Sub-Committee resolved:

1.         That the
premises licence be suspended for three months. 

2.         If the
Premises Licence Holder is able to demonstrate full compliance with
the conditions on the premises licence, the suspension be lifted
earlier with the agreement of a Licensing Officer.
