There is no end to the way and means being used here to circumvent the law. The licencing committee hasn't met yet to consider the licencing application, and therefore Tesco don't have an alcohol licence for the foreseeable future. However, they have put in a special event request to have a licence for 10 days. The 'special event' being the opening of a new store. I am speechless.
UPDATE - local councillors managed to convince Tesco that it wasnt really an event, and they withdraw the request for an events licence. The licencing committee meets in three weeks. We should know then whether they can sell alcohol or not.
