Proposer: Penny Dawkins
Seconder: James Craven
Mr Crick explained that the company had had in the past permission by the Licensing Assembly to extend their licence to cover a small area immediately outside the premises. He now had also received the necessary permissions/agreements of DFI, Planning and the Parish to widen the pavement outside of the premises to create an alfresco area, and that a new public walkway would be created for pedestrians. The company was therefore applying to extend its licence further to cover this additional area.
Geraint Jennings asked what the operating hours of the alfresco area would be.
Mr Crick confirmed that he envisaged them being between 11am & 10:30pm
No further questions were asked, and on being put the vote, the application was approved unanimously. 21/16 Item 7: to recommend to an extraordinary sitting of the Licensing Bench the following application for a licence for the year 2016 in virtue of the Licensing (Jersey) Law 1974 Name Category Business Address Quidsin.com Limited 6th QI Headquarters Michael Scragg (Sec) 2 Library Place Kiri Cavill presented the application on behalf of Quidsin
Proposer: Bernard Le Sueur
Seconder: Susan Le Sueur
M/s Cavill explained that the company offered discount vouchers that people paid for, which were redeemed elsewhere and that they wanted to expand that service to include vouchers that contained alcohol. She confirmed that the company would not be storing or selling alcohol directly at or from their premises. Geraint Jennings said that if he understood it correctly the company would be operating like a wholesaler but that no one would be attending the premises to purchase alcohol.
M/s Cavill confirmed that that was correct, they could only obtain vouchers, but as they were purchasing vouchers that contained alcohol and as the company was therefore involved with the sale of alcohol, they were advised that they required a liquor licence.
No further questions were asked, and on being put the vote, the application was approved unanimously. The Constable advised the Assembly that the above application would be heard at an extraordinary sitting of the Licensing Bench to be held on 14 April. The date of the next Parish Assembly was scheduled for Wednesday 27 April however, the Constable advised the Assembly that date would need to be confirmed as the Court had set that date as Election Day should there be a contested election for Procureur de Bien Public.
