The Wandsworth Council Licensing Sub-Committee met to consider an application from the Home Office Immigration Enforcement to review the premises licence of Londis, 1-4 Aubyn Square, London, SW15 5NT, following the discovery of an illegal worker at the premises. After hearing from all parties, the sub-committee decided to suspend the licence for one month and add new conditions to the licence. These conditions include maintaining a comprehensive staff register, ensuring staff complete right-to-work compliance training, and regular reviews of compliance files by the designated premises supervisor (DPS).
