Sheffield Shop Fights for Alcohol License After Illicit Tobacco Bust
7 Jun
Summary
- A Sheffield corner shop seeks to regain its alcohol license.
- The license was revoked in February due to illicit tobacco sales.
- Trading Standards is among the objectors to the new application.
A corner shop in Sheffield is seeking to have its alcohol license reinstated after a previous revocation. Newman Convenience, situated on Newman Road, had its license stripped in February of this year. This action followed the seizure of illegal tobacco products and vapes from the premises.
The application to once again sell alcohol will be heard by Sheffield City Council's licensing sub-committee. The meeting is scheduled for June 9. Several parties are expected to object to the shop's renewed bid for an alcohol license.
Notably, Sheffield Trading Standards is among those formally objecting to the corner shop's application. The committee will consider these objections when making its decision on whether to grant the license.
