New One Stop Shop Granted Licence!

The One Stop Shop 335-337 Griffith Drive Ashmore Park. The decision of the City Council Licensing Panel -The representations made by West Midlands Police and Local Health Board had been formally withdrawn prior to the hearing.

The Sub-Committee considered the additional issues raised at the hearing by local residents in terms of potential anti-social behaviour.

The applicant has provided an assurance that representatives of the Premises will meet regularly with local residents to consider and resolve any issues that may arise.

The Sub-Committee decided that the application be granted, subject to the following conditions:-

Ø Hours of opening – 0600 hours to 2200 hours

Ø Sale of Alcohol – 0900 hours to 2200 hours

Ø Applicant, or representative, to meet on monthly basis with local residents commencing with immediate effect.

I think that this is a decent decision, I like the fact that the shop will meet with local residents who placed their objections, and that is part of the conditions. The really good news is that residents in the top half of Ashmore Park get back a convieniance store, which Iam sure will be welcomed by many!
