A Ribbleton convenience store could be stripped of its licence after being repeatedly caught stocking illegal vapes.
Officers first visited in September 2023 and as well as finding the illicit vapes on display, also found that required signage such as the licence and tobacco notices were not on display. It was also found that an area of the shop not included in the licence was being used for sales.As a result, licence holder Nitin Limbani was given advice verbally and via email on how to vary the licence to cover this.
The following day, another visit took place and the illegal vapes had taken off display but were still being stored in a stock room. A staff member insisted there were plans to throw them away but another warning was issued, this time stating any found in future would be seized.Lancashire Constabulary licensing officer PC Ste Connolly submitted the request for a review, which will take place in a public meeting on Monday .
In a submission to the licensing subcommittee, trading standards principal officer Jason Middleton concluded: “Multiple warnings and chances have been given to the business which have been ignored every time. In the opinion of Lancashire County Council Trading Standards Service the information presented is evidence that the prevention of crime and disorder licensing objectives have been disregarded at the premises.”Sign up below to receive Blog Preston's email newsletter.
