Licensing objectives
General
We Will take a responsible approach to the retail of alcohol.
We will provide strong management and effective staff training to promote responsible practices and the requirement to meet the licensing objectives.
None of our staff can sell alcohol until they are officially trained and logged in the DPS authorization register.
The prevention of crime and disorder
CCTV System Maintenance: A digital closed-circuit television (CCTV) system is installed, and operated at the premises at all times, and when licensable activities are taking place. The system provides clear, identifiable images of all persons entering and exiting the premises.
● CCTV Data Retention: All CCTV recordings will be securely stored in a digital format for a minimum period of 28 days. Images and footage shall be made available immediately upon reasonable request to officers of the Police or the Licensing Authority.
● Incident Log Management: An Incident Log book will be kept permanently behind the main service counter. Staff must record all incidents of anti-social behaviour, criminal activity, shoplifting, ejections, or physical conflicts. This log must be reviewed, verified, and signed off by the management team on a weekly basis.
● Merchandising & Line of Sight: High-value alcohol, including all spirits and liqueurs, shall be displayed behind the main payment counter or within the direct, unobstructed line of sight of the checkout staff to mitigate the risk of opportunistic theft.
Public safety
● Fire Safety Regulations: The premises will be maintained in strict compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (or any replacing legislation). All designated emergency escape routes, fire exits, fire-extinguishing equipment, and emergency lighting systems shall be kept unobstructed, clearly marked, and tested regularly.
● First Aid Infrastructure: An adequately stocked first aid kit shall be maintained on-site and made easily accessible to all staff and customers. At least one member of staff scheduled on every active shift shall hold a valid certification in basic first aid.
● Spill and Hazard Response: A spill-response policy shall be maintained. Staff will be trained to immediately to isolate, clean, and dry any wet floors or broken glass inside the retail area to protect the physical well-being of the public.
The prevention of public nuisance
As a community-owned shop, minimizing disruption to immediate neighbours is critical. This covers noise, litter, and anti-social behaviour outside our doors.
We would only be holding occasional community events throughout the year selling alcohol. These would be limited to our members and their guests eg a Christmas party, halloween, Easter and other occasional member events.
We would ensure the following:
● Customer Exit Signage: Clear, legible notices shall be prominently displayed at all exit points requesting that customers respect the needs of local residents and leave the area and its immediate vicinity quietly.
● Litter and Waste Management: The perimeter directly outside the shop front shall be swept and cleared of commercial waste or customer litter (such as abandoned bottles or cans) daily at closing time.
● Commercial Restrictions: To prevent noise disturbance to surrounding residential properties, commercial deliveries of alcohol stock and the external disposal of glass waste shall be strictly limited to the hours between 07:00 and 19:00.
The protection of children from harm
Mandatory Challenge 25: The premises shall operate a strict "Challenge 25" age-verification policy. Any customer attempting to purchase alcohol who appears to be under the age of 25 shall be required to produce an approved form of photographic identification. Acceptable forms of ID are limited to a valid passport, a photo card driving licence, or a Proof of Age card carrying the PASS hologram.
● Staff & Volunteer Training Cycles: All 15 staff members including part time staff, shall undergo documented training regarding age-restricted sales before being permitted to sell alcohol. Refresher training modules covering age verification and proxy purchasing laws must be completed and logged every 6 months.
● Refusals Register Audit: A dedicated Refusals Log shall be maintained at the point of sale to document all declined transactions where identification was missing or invalid. This log will record the date, time, description of the item, staff member name, and reason for refusal, and must be audited and signed by the DPS monthly.
