Minutes:

The Licensing Enforcement Officer presented the report on the designation of parts of the highway for the purposes of street trading. The report concerned five applications for the following:

  1. An area of 3.2m x 1.9m outside The Adega, 77 The Broadway Wimbledon SW19 1QE
  2. An area of 13.9m x 0.8m outside Morden Food Centre 17-19 Morden Court Parade London Road Morden SM4 5HJ
  3. An area of 5.3m x 2m outside Turkish BBQ House 44 Aberconway Road SM4
  4. An area of 11.1m x 1m outside Instagrab Pretzel 11-13 London Road Morden SM4 5HT
  5. An area of 2.59m x 1.325m outside Greggs, 11 Fair Green Parade, London Road, Mitcham, CR4 3NA

The Licensing Enforcement Officer advised that all five applicants were currently operating on temporary licences and there had been no issues. Morden Food Centre had an existing licence and therefore it was suggested that the previous designation could be rescinded if the new application was approved. The Committee agreed that this should be the case. In relation to Greggs, there had been one complaint relating to an A-board which had been dealt with but was a matter for the highways department and not a street trading offence.

In response to questions, the Licensing Enforcement Officer confirmed that all five applications had sufficient space for pedestrians.

RESOLVED:

That the Committee approved the applications for:

1)    An area of 3.2m x 1.9m outside The Adega, 77 The Broadway Wimbledon SW19 1QE.

3)  An area of 5.3m x 2m outside Turkish BBQ House 44 Aberconway Road SM4.

4)  An area of 11.1m x 1m outside Instagrab Pretzel 11-13 London Road Morden SM4 5HT.

5)  An area of 2.59m x 1.325m outside Greggs, 11 Fair Green Parade, London Road, Mitcham, CR4 3NA

That the Committee approved the application for 2)An area of 13.9m x 0.8m outside Morden Food Centre 17-19 Morden Court Parade London Road Morden SM4 5HJ and agreed to rescind the previous existing designation.

About Mark Gale

A Ravensbury resident fed up with mistakes being made at council meetings, my local Councillor preferring to complete a Sudoku Puzzle rather than listen to comments made at a scrutiny meeting, not having an accurate record of council meetings. Merton Council needs transparency to expose the childish behaviour, and blind party loyalty from our elected members. I have setup this website and will do my best to make as many council meetings accessible for ALL. With the help from other committed residents of our borough, we can keep a close eye on Merton.
