Operating Schedule
General - all four licensing objectives (b,c,d,e)
We have applied for an extended period between the cessation of the supply of alcohol and the closure of the premises to give us the option to allow for a more gradual dispersal of customers. The style and operation of the pub will not differ significantly during the extended hours. Where this is appropriate, non alcoholic refreshment will be available in the extended period.
The premises will respect Spirit Group's Approach to Responsible Drinking (a copy of which is enclosed in support of this application). Our policies change at regular intervals to reflect current trends and it would be inappropriate to standerdise them on a permanent basis. The enclosed policy is included for information only and not as suggested conditions or to form part of any other Operating Schedule.
b) The prevention of crime and disorder
When door staff are used they will be Security Industry Authority (SIA) approved and operate in accordance with the security industry guidelines.
A zero tolerance towards illegal drugs will be enforced at all times.
If a disc jockey is used on any night then he/she will ask customers to leave quietly.
If a CCTV system is installed at this site, it will continue to operate during the additional hours of trading and notices will be displayed.
All instances of crime and disorder will be reported to the police and will be kept in an incident log book.
c) Public safety
Public safety is integral to the way that the Spirit Group runs its business and is reviewed regularly through our health and safety policy. This policy is fully briefed and trained to all management and staff and we will continue to train our staff to the standards required by relevant legislation.
Free drinking water will be available at all times.
d) The prevention of public nuisance
Additional patrols will take place by members of staff, internally and externally, to limit any noise pollution when entertainment is being offered within the premises.
If appropriate, notices will be displayed asking our customers to respect our neighbours when leaving the premises.
Where already used text/radio pagers will continue to be used for the additional hours of trading and will be monitored by a responsible member of staff.
Soft drinks and non alcoholic refreshment will be available if we decide to use the option to stay open for an extended period between the cessation of the supply of alcohol and the closure of the premises (see above under General).
