Councillors U-turn on 'gang fears' over dessert takeaway

A dessert takeaway business in Liverpool has been granted a premises licence after concerns from city councillors were withdrawn.

Fears had been raised by Cllrs Gerard Woodhouse and Roy Gladden that gangs could gather outside Choco Dado on County Road if a licence was approved. After discussions with the owners, the members withdrew their objections ahead of a Liverpool Council licensing and gambling sub-committee this morning.

In a five-minute session, committee chair Cllr Christine Banks signed off on amended proposals by the operators of the takeaway venue. This was despite a further objection being submitted by Cllr Maureen Delahunty-Kehoe but the County Ward member did not attend the meeting.
