A new convenience store in Walton has secured a premises licence despite concerns being lodged over anti-social behaviour.
Liverpool Council ’s licensing and gambling sub-committee took just 45 minutes to sign off on an application from Kalatharan Nagartnam and his new business, Tamil Convenience Store, at Centec Business Centre, Stopgate Lane. The store will now be able to trade alcohol from 7am to 11pm after securing the permission.
Ian Rushton, licensing agent on behalf of Mr Nagartnam, said the location was a brand new shop and his client had invested in its long-term future by securing a five year lease and pumping in £50,000. Mr Rushton said the “small unit” would be refurbished to “high standards”.
