Present

Mr Andrew Aquilina, the applicant.

Mr Kay Adu, the applicant's business partner.

 

Richard Maidment, Principal Regulatory Services Officer

 

Mr Danny Faulkner, resident.

 

Derek Stone, Licensing Officer

Ben Attrill, Legal Advisor

 

The Licensing Officer informed the committee that after speaking to the resident and the Regulatory Services Officer, the applicant had revised the hours requested as follows:

 

Sale of alcohol:

Sunday - Thursday: 12:00 until 22:00.

Friday & Saturday: 12:00 until 23:00.

 

Christmas Eve: 12:00 until 00:00

New Year's Eve: 12:00 until 00:30.

 

The premises would close 30 minutes afterwards.

Live music and late-night refreshment are no longer required.

Recorded music would be played in accordance with the revised sale of alcohol hours.

 

 In response to a question from members, the revised hours were clarified.

 

There were no other questions.

 

 

Mr Aqulina included the following points in his representation:

He is happy to reduce the hours to please the neighbours.

 

He is not looking to have the same type of clientele as the Drift Bar.  The atmosphere would be more like the Chambers in Kings Road.  Food would be served until 19:00.  It would not be a loud, late-night bar.

 

He has 17 years' experience of working in bars in the city.  He has always wanted to work with residents.

 

In response to a question from the Legal Advisor, Mr Aqulina explained that on Christmas Eve alcohol sales would stop at 00:00 and on New Year's Eve at 00:30.   The premises would close half an hour later.

 

There were no other questions.

 

Mr Faulkner included the following points in his representation.

A number of years ago, late night economy premises moved to the Guildhall Walk.  However, Palmerston Road is pretty full now and is expanding into Osborne Road.  He asked the panel to consider how many premises are needed there.

 

He is currently in dispute with GoGo regarding drunken clientele being very noisy when leaving their premises up until 03:00 every night.

 

There were no questions.

 

Richard Maidment included the following points in his representation:

In light of the changes, he has no problem with the application.  He circulated some proposed conditions for the panel to consider.

 

The applicant indicated that he had seen them and would be happy for them to be imposed on his licence.
