  Operating schedule

   

  All four licensing objectives

  Alcohol within the store will be tightly controlled, in order to limit any chance of underage contact and also to reduce the possibility of theft and enhance the staffs ability to refuse sales. All alcohol will only be available from behind the counter. All staff members will be thoroughly trained in the licensing objectives. A Check 21 system will operate in relation to all alcohol sales. No ID, No sale.

  The prevention of crime and disorder

  24 hour CCTV operates within and outside the store.

  This is held for a period of up to 28 days during which time it can be downloaded for use by the company or any relevant authority.

  Public safety

  Should any member of staff feel that public safety is being affected, they have the right and the ability to immediately close the store.

  The prevention of public nuisance

  People will be discouraged from congregating and 'hanging about' on or near the premises.

  The protection of children from harm

  We actively encourage children into the store with a good range of children's sweets and because of this staff are trained to monitor and refuse sales of age restricted items if they have reason to believe the product is for someone other than the purchaser.

  Staff are made aware that they are personally responsible for every sale they make, and that they are also being recorded on CCTV and that they will face prosecution should they break the law. Unless they are 100% sure they must not sell that age restricted item.
