The minutes of the meeting held on 27 January 2026 were confirmed and signed as a correct record.

The Committee considered the application to review a premises licence.

The Committee noted the representations made by the applicant. This included:

• Evidence had been obtained that the premises was selling illegal cigarettes, vapes and drug sweets.
• There was evidence of an overall lack of control at the premise.
• There was no evidence that the licensing objectives were being upheld.
• Despite the warnings given regarding the above, the premise continued to sell the illegal items.

The Committee noted the representations made by the licence holder. This included:

• The evidence was circumstantial and no definitive proof could be provided that they were selling drug sweets.
• They had inadvertently purchased illegal cigarettes but when they became aware of this they no longer sold them.
• The vapes were not being stored in an area which suggested that they were being sold.

RESOLVED that the licence be revoked.
