Merseyside Police has objected to a convenience store being awarded a licence to sell alcohol after a kitchen knife was sold to an underage customer.
An application has been made to Liverpool Council by Josh’s Newz on County Road for a licence to trade alcohol for consumption off the premises. However, officers raised concerns that granting permission would undermine the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety and protection of children from harm.
Applicant Mohammed Nadim is seeking the council’s permission to sell alcohol from the business from 7am to 11pm daily. The store would open from 6am to 11pm.
