A Sheffield convenience store risks losing its alcohol license due to repeated sales of alcohol and vapes to underage individuals.Summary
Best One on Southey Green Road in Sheffield is facing a license review after South Yorkshire Police discovered multiple instances of selling age-restricted products to minors. Two test purchase operations failed in May and September of last year, with a vape refill and alcohol being sold to underage buyers. Despite interventions from trading standards and safeguarding teams, including advice, guidance, and a voluntary action plan, license holder Harminder Bains failed to engage with authorities or demonstrate compliance. Sheffield Children Safeguarding Partnership and Sheffield Trading Standards support the police application for a license review, which will be heard by Sheffield City Council’s licensing sub-committee on March 9th.
