  Conditions agreed through mediation with Suffolk Constabulary

   

  A Recordable CCTV to a high standard and format as acceptable for evidential use will be installed at the premises.  The system will be capable of recording the areas of the premises susceptible to alcohol related crime together with the entrance and exit of the premises.  The recording system will be able to capture image of evidential quality and such recordings shall be retained for as long as the system is able (whilst retaining the high-quality image) and in any event for a minimum of 28 days.

   

  The CCTV system must be operating at all times whilst the premises are open to the public for licensable activities. All equipment shall have a constant and accurate time and date generation.

   

  Lidl store management will be trained to view and download CCTV footage on receipt of an internal authorisation code. For urgent matters, at all times officers will be able to view CCTV footage to verify if a reported offence is covered and, whenever required, CCTV will be downloaded and made available to the officer as soon as reasonably practicable and within 24 hours at the latest. For non-urgent matters, CCTV will be available to view and download at all times during normal office hours on receipt of an internal authorisation code or in any event within 48 hours

Acceptable identification for the purposes of age verification will include a driving licence, passport or photographic identification bearing the "PASS" logo and the person's date of birth. If the person seeking alcohol is unable to produce acceptable means of identification, no sale or supply of alcohol will be made to or for that person.
  'Challenge 25' posters will be displayed at the premises.

   

  In the event that an employee suspects that a person attempting to purchase alcohol is under the age of 25, is a street drinker or is attempting a proxy purchase they will immediately call the shift manager. The shift manager will make appropriate enquiries and will determine whether the sale should be permitted.

Staff will be trained regarding appropriate precautions to prevent the sale of alcohol to persons under the age of 18, the signs and symptoms of drunk persons and the refusal of sale due to intoxication.  Records will be kept of such training which must be signed and dated by the member of staff who has received that training. Staff will also be trained to recognise the signs of proxy purchases. All staff will receive refresher training every six months as a minimum and records are to be kept of this refresher training which should be signed and dated by the member of staff who received that training. All training records will be kept and made available to the Licensing Authority or the Police as soon as possible and in any event within 7 days of request.
