• Offered Conditions

   

  Operating Schedule:

   

  a) General - all four licensing objectives (b,c,d,e)

   

  The company operates 28 Spar stores and operates a strict "If you appear under 25 years of age, no ID (which must be either passport or driving licence) no sale" policy on alcohol and other age restricted products. The company employs over 500 staff, and every single one has been individually interviewed and trained on this policy by either a director or senior area manager, which involved hundreds of man hours. All new staff receive the same in depth training.

   

  b) The prevention of crime and disorder

   

  As a result of our strict "under 25" policy, crime and disorder is effectively deterred by the fact that under 18 year olds know they will not be served and there is consequently an absence of drunken under age drinkers in the vicinity of our stores.

   

  c) Public safety

   

  The absence of congregating youths (as a result of "A" and "B") contributes greatly to public safety.

   

  d) The prevention of public nuisance

   

  See A,B,C above.

   

  e) The protection of children from harm

   

  The strict "under 25" policy effectively prevents children from coming to harm because they are prevented from consuming alcohol.
