• Licensing Objectives

   

  Highly visible crime prevention measures will be in evidence to protect customers, staff and stock and provide a safe environment. Together with the implementation of a range of security measures and a high degree of staff training and awareness the measures to be implemented as described in the sections below are considered to be appropriate and sufficient enough to promote the four licensing objectives.

   

  The layout of the shop is conducive to good observation opportunities for the staff which reduce the likelihood of any person visiting the shop engaging in theft of goods on display. Public access to the premises will only be possible via the main entrance as the rear door will be kept closed.

   

  Vision around the shop will be enhanced by a series of up to eight colour CCTV cameras which view all areas of the shop both inside and outside. Notices will be displayed around the shop will remind customers that CCTV is in operation whilst the shop is open. Staff on duty will be able to control the CCTV system by remote control from behind the serving counter. CCTV images will be digitally recorded and kept for a period of 60 days prior to being over-recorded. Images from the CCTV system will be capable of being digitally downloaded onto a storage device and provided to representatives of the Police or other Responsible Authorities upon reasonable request and in line with current legislation.

   

  It will be normal practice to have at least two staff members on duty in the evenings from 9pm especially on Fridays and Saturdays when there is the highest risk of crime or antisocial behaviour having to be dealt with.

   

  The applicant also undertakes to not sell beers or ciders in single cans and of an ABV of no more than 6%. Only sufficient stocks of alcohol that can be displayed on the allocated shelving units will be kept at the shop as stocks can be replaced on a daily basis as required. Most wines and spirits will be stored on display units behind the serving counters so will have to be served to customers. Chilled and non-chilled wines and beers will be located on appropriate display units immediately adjacent to the serving counters reducing the likelihood of such products being stolen.

   

  All staff will receive sufficient training in the licensing laws so that they fully understand the legalities of serving alcohol to the public and the consequences should they fail to comply with their responsibilities. Appropriate staff training records will be kept and stored at the premises. An incident and refusals book will also be kept and maintained at the premises.

   

  In the interests of public safety the applicant will have incorporate appropriate risk assessments as necessary to comply with Health & Safety and Fire legislation. These risk assessments will be regularly reviewed and updated where necessary.

   

  Notices will displayed in the shop window reminding customers outside not to obstruct the access areas to the premises. Liaison with the Police will be an appropriate course of action to take should there be the need to highlight any particular individual or individuals that may not comply with that requirement. The presence of a CCTV camera outside the premises will assist in that regard. Staff on duty will ensure that the front of the premises are checked regularly and that any litter is cleared away.

   

  The 'Challenge 25' method of checking ID will be operated at the shop premises using recognised and suitable identification documents for UK and international customers. Staff will be fully trained in these requirements and will refuse alcohol sales where required. 'Challenge 25' notices will be displayed throughout the shop especially in the area of alcohol displays. All refusals will be recorded in a refusals book. This book will be kept at the premises and will be produced to a representative of the Police or other Responsible Authority upon reasonable request and in line with current legislation.

   

  Public Health Conditions

   

  The licensee will display at all times and in close proximity to all alcohol displays within the premises, the current Alcohol Guidelines produced by the UK Chief Medical Officers. The display content will be provided by the Public Health team for display in A4 format.

  There will be no window display posters or similar advertising containing any reference to alcohol on the premises shop frontage or the highway abutting the premises.
