The application for a premises licence for Asda Express, 178 Goldington Road, Bedford (the former Fox and Hounds) has been granted.
In an announcement published yesterday (Monday), the licensing sub-committee said it was “sympathetic” to the concerns raised by objectors, but these related to potential issues that may arise.
However, it noted that if there was a concern regarding the licensing objectives or the operation of the premises licence, a complaint could be raised with the police or the Licensing Authority, which could lead to a review of the premises licence.
