Just for information: I see that the Licensing Sub-committee has the Tesco application as item 1 on their 24 July meeting agenda. https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=172&MId=8329. The officer's report to the committtee provides a good succinct summary. I see, from (original) p.31 of the full public pack, that Tesco Legal Dept on 12 June reported that they'd agreed with the police's suggested conditions to be attached to the licence, and the police accordingly withdrew their own representation. That leaves just one representation, from a member of the public, to be dealt with on the day. I still think it's not necessarily to be presumed that Tesco will definitely be taking over the premises. I see that Poundland themselves were granted an off-sales licence on 21 Feb 2023, and surrendered it on 3 July 2025. I'm not sure they actually ever used it themselves. Did they? https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Statement of Licensing Policy 2021-2026.pdf is a full statement of the policy and its application, for thems as is interested. -

I'd get rid of duty free shopping. Nothing to do with tourist tax but something I hate. All that glitz as you try to get through to Wetherspoons in the departure lounge. No great savings over on line or even at times supermarkets, and the hypocrisy of selling cheap cancer sticks. Ok back to tourist tax
