Convenience store rocked by shooting granted 24 hour alcohol licence despite concerns it is 'in the wrong place'
A convenience store that was rocked by a terrifying ‘targeted attack’ has been granted a 24 hour alcohol licence despite concerns it would not be appropriate for the area. Da Shop, in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport was the scene of what was understood to be a gang-related shooting in June 2021, leading to the arrest of a 15-year-old boy for attempted murder.
“To deny him a premises licence on those grounds would actually be an act of revictimisation - blaming him in some way for being a victim of crime and that would completely and utterly offend His Majesty’s government’s victim charter." He presented a 250-signature petition to the committee, stressing that those who had put their names to it had no issue with the saw Da Shop as offering a ‘useful and popular service’ to the community. Mr Semper also reminded the committee that the application came with a ‘raft’ of conditions to mitigate concerns around public nuisance and crime and disorder - including the use of a smoke generating security device and CCTV system, with recorded retained for a period of 31 days.
"It doesn’t happen prior to one o’ clock so why should it suddenly start happening as the clock of All Parish Church, in Cheadle Hulme, chimes one?
