Minutes: The Interim Assistant Director Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented a report (Document “W”) which outlined an application for review of the premises licence for the Village, 11-17 Barry Street, Bradford, BD1 2AL.
A written representation on behalf of the Premises Licence Holder was submitted and circulated to members prior to the hearing.
The representative from West Yorkshire Police, the responsible authority, spoke in support of the application to review the premises licence and responded to the representation from the Licence Holder. He noted that the application to review the premises licence was based on incidents directly attributed to the Village since reopening following the lifting of Covid restrictions. He added that the application was on the grounds that the premises was failing to promote the prevention of crime and disorder and protection of children from harm licensing objectives.
He responded to the points made in the written representations from the Licence Holder as follows:
8 August 2021 – Injured parties were removed to the street to prevent further trouble. The premises holder has a duty of care to protect people on the curtilage of the premises.
29 August 2021 – two 16-year-old girls, under age, were with friends. The victim went to hospital due to their injuries. Challenge 21 has to be in place and entry refused. On 25 September the Village facebook page was updated with a Challenge 25 poster. The licence holder was questioned whether the girls had been on the premises and whether both IDs had been checked.

12 September 2021 – it is the responsibility of the operator to keep an incident book in accordance with condition 9 of the licence. It was noted that the police do not receive reports of incidents at the premises.
18 September 2021 – door staff removed the victim from the premises and they were further assaulted. It was pointed out that the licence holder has a duty of care to protect users. The police have no record of a call from the premises regarding the incident.
26 September 2021 – He questioned what had been considered by the licence holder to prevent such an incident.
30 October 2021 – the police were contacted by the ambulance service regarding a 15-year-old male who got into the village with no ID and with friends who were 14-16 years old. The premises were aware that fake ID was shown on mobile phones, no further checks were made and they were served alcohol.
26 December 2021 – He asked what had been done by the Licence Holder to prevent a knife being brought into the premises or how it could be prevented in the future by for example using knife wands.
He went on to note that there was an ongoing live investigation into GBH in January 2022. The injuries sustained were grave and could have resulted in a fatality. There was what ... view the full minutes text for item 6. |
