TLT Solicitors has made an application on behalf of Bournemouth Food Market Ltd for a new premises licence for a food market  located at 82 Old Christchurch Road Bournemouth, BH1 1LR.

The application seeks permission for the on and off sales of alcohol between 12:00 and 22:00 every day of the week.

The application attracted 1 representation from 1 other person on the grounds that to grant the application would undermine the prevention of crime and disorder, prevention of public nuisance, public safety and protection of children from harm licensing objectives.

This matter is brought to the Licensing Sub Committee for determination.
