Alcohol licence at risk after sale of vodka to teen

Councillors will decide next week whether to revoke the licence of Select Xpress, in Shirley.

A council report said PC Luke Prescott applied to review the licence of the Stratford Road shop on April 29.

In his application the officer said: "On April 14, a 14-year-old female and her 15-year-old friend were able to purchase a bottle of vodka from the premises and no age verification checks were carried out by the member of staff."
