The store has been given the thumbs up to start selling alcohol at 6am – two hours earlier than its current licensing hours
A Tesco Express store has been granted permission to sell booze an hour earlier in the day following a town hall hearing.
The store on Whitegate Drive, near Breck Road, had wanted to start selling alcohol at 6am – two hours earlier than its current licensing hours which start at 8am. But following talks with the council, it agreed to a 7am start which was approved by a licensing panel. Sales in the evening will continue to be restricted to end at 11pm.The application was brought before the panel because the store is within a cumulative impact area which means the council has stronger powers to control licensed premises.
But a decision notice said: “In this particular case, the amended application is for a small extension of hours by a national operator with robust policies in place for staff training on the sale of age-restricted items. “Seven members of staff are personal licence holders and there appears to be support in place to enable staff to have confidence in refusing sales where necessary.”
