A NEWSAGENT has been granted a licence to sell alcohol despite objections from neighbours.
Bromley Council’s licensing sub-committee has given permission to Fairway News, Southborough Lane, Bromley, to sell alcohol during its opening times between 10am and 10pm every day.
Letters of objection raised concerns over a potential increase in crime and disorder and the fact there were already outlets selling alcohol nearby.
In the report considered by councillors, the shop pledged to ensure all staff were fully trained and a Challenge 25 scheme would be enforced whereby customers who look under the age of 25 are required to show proof of age.
