The shop<\/a> currently has a licence to sell alcohol from 8am to 10.30pm every day. It is currently allowed to stay open until 11pm.<\/p>\nWirral Council said the Home Office had applied to review the shop\u2019s licence. This is after they \u201cidentified illegal activity taking place at the premises\u201d according to a council report.<\/p>\n
A report published ahead of the meeting added: \u201cThe grounds for the review are in relation to the premises employing individuals who are not entitled to work in the UK.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Home Office considers that this undermines the licensing objective of the prevention of crime and disorder.\u201d<\/p>\n
A number of options are available to the council including modifying conditions on the licence, excluding a licensable activity, removing the designated supervisor for the business, suspending the licence up to three months, or taking it off them altogether. Councillors may also believe no action is needed.<\/p>\n
The review application is supported by both the council\u2019s licensing and trading standards departments. The council report added: \u201cThe licensing authority have also indicated that several inspections have been undertaken at the premises since December 2022 which have identified a number of breaches of the premises licence conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe licensing authority considers that the premises employing individuals who are not entitled to work in the UK and the premises breaching the premises licence conditions undermines the licensing objectives, specifically the prevention of crime and disorder. \u201d<\/p>\n
Trading standards have also raised concerns \u201cwho have advised that following several inspections at the premises, illicit cigarettes and vapes have been found on the premises which resulted in warnings being issued to the licence holder\u201d.<\/p>\n
The LDRS was previously told immigration enforcement attended the convenience store in Moreton on September 25 2024 after receiving intelligence about illegal workers. One male was arrested for breach of bail due to having no permission to work in the UK and a civil penalty was issued of \u00a340,000.<\/p>\n
A Home Office spokesperson previously said: \u201cIllegal working undermines honest employers, undercuts local wages, and fuels the criminal industry of immigration crime. This government is determined to clamp down on that illegal activity in every sector where it occurs, including retailers.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder this government, enforcement action nationwide has increased, with visits and arrests up by around 50% on the previous twelve months, and we will be stepping up that action further in the year ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
Six businesses in Wirral were fined in total by the UK Government between January and March 2025. They were fined a total of \u00a3255,000.<\/p>\n
The LDRS attempted to contact the shop using a publicly available number linked with the business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A report said illegal vapes and cigarettes had been found at the shop 15:17, 15 Dec 2025Updated 15:19,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":634491,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,4884,179,285,16,15,8881,9313],"class_list":{"0":"post-634490","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-liverpool","12":"tag-politics","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-wirral","16":"tag-wirral-council"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115725141529832708","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=634490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634490\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/634491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=634490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=634490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=634490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
