The Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Sub-Committee of Brent Council was scheduled to consider an application for the review of a premises licence for Venue 777. The meeting was also to address the exclusion of the press and public during part of its proceedings.

Review of Premises Licence for Venue 777

The primary item scheduled for discussion was an application for the review of the premises licence for Venue 777, located at 295 Neasden Lane, NW10 1QR. This review was initiated following an expedited process by the Metropolitan Police, as outlined in the Public reports pack. The report pack contained extensive documentation related to this application, spanning numerous pages.

The agenda indicated that part of the consideration of this item would involve the disclosure of information classified as exempt under Paragraph 7 of Part 1 Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972. This specific exemption relates to Information relating to any action taken or to be taken in connection with the prevention, investigation or prosecution of crime. Consequently, members were expected to consider excluding the press and public from the meeting during this part of the discussion. The Agenda frontsheet also noted that the meeting would be held in person, with members of the Sub-Committee required to attend.

The membership of the Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Sub-Committee for this meeting included Councillor Charlie Clinton, Councillor Parvez Ahmed (Chair), and Councillor George Burn. Devbai Bhanji, Governance Assistant, was listed as the contact for further information.
