Result of license review for Oxygen, West Street

[Jason Kitcat]

Dear all

I today attended the licensing review for Oxygen, West Street which is next
to the Avalon residential development. I was pleased to see a number of
other local residents there.

Following the hearing a panel of three councillors decided to suspend
Oxygen's license for one week, remove the current designated premises
supervisor, require stricter age checking and require two door staff on
Thursdays to Saturdays.

They also required the new designated premises supervisor to be physically
present in Oxygen at ALL times while alcohol is being sold for the next
three months.

Personally, given the severity of Oxygen's infractions (failing three
underage test purchases, public nuisance through noise disturbance etc) I
would have liked to see at least a longer suspension than one week.

So there we have it. Residents can always call for another license review if
they are unhappy with the Oxygen's conduct in the future.

All the best,
Jason

Thank you for this.
 
I agree with you, we will be back there soon - even last night there was no 'barrier' between their door and the entrance to the flats.

Hi Steve,

My name is Ben Chalk and I am the manager of Oxygen. I'd just like to
inform you that the reason the barrier rope has not been out for the
last couple of days is because, believe it or not, somebody took it
upon themselves to steal the velvet rope. We have ordered a new one
and so the barrier will be out again early this week. Any other issues
that you might notice then please feel free to contact me and I'll be
more than happy to resolve them.

Kind Regards,

Ben Chalk

I didn't note the dates down but from memory it was something like a
week near the end of March that Oxygen would be closed.

All the best,
Jason

Hi Jason,

The dates of the week of closure runs from end of trading hours on
Thursday 20th March (by our licence 03:00 Friday Morning) through to
the beginning of trading hours on Friday 27th March (09:00 Friday
Morning by our licence).

I hope this helps to clarify the details of the Licensing Hearing.

Kind Regards,

Ben Chalk
Oxygen General Manager
