Merseyside Police has said it cannot support a bid by a Liverpool city centre off licence to sell alcohol 24 hours a day.
An application has been made by Everydayz on Vauxhall Road to vary the conditions of its current terms to allow the business to trade all day, every day. Under its current licence, issued by Liverpool Council, the off licence can sell alcohol from 7am to 11pm Monday to Sunday.
The proposal has been met with opposition from the city’s police force, which has submitted a written objection to the local authority ahead of its licensing sub-committee meeting later this month. Dawn Lawrenson, Merseyside Police licensing officer, said in a letter to the council the force believes granting the variation would “undermine” prevention of crime and disorder.
