The lady told me to get better advice would be to call the police Licensing officer I said I had tried the numbers
listed on their website but I was not having no luck, she then got me the correct number to call which is listed
below.
Croydon Police Station - Licensing Sergeant (Spoke to Darren)
Address Line:
Licensing Office
Metropolitan Police Service
Croydon Police Station
71 Park Lane.
Croydon,
CR9 I BP
Telephone:
020 8649 0157 or 0167 (this is the wrong telephone numbers I was able to get the correct one from Croydon
Council, Licensing Team the correct number is 020 8649 0172
After trying the 2 numbers that are on the website to speak to the Police Licensing officer and having no luck it
was then I called and spoke to the Croydon Council, Licensing Team the lady I spoke to give me the correct
number and l called this after and spoke to a male called Darren.
We spoke in great detail about the ASBO and the conditions and that we were told these would in no way would
any person be inhibited by this ASBO order who applied for a licence.
He could not understand this and asked me more details who we have been told this by.
I explained what went on at the trial and also my son's business.
He could not understand why we were told this and asked who had applied for the ASBO order.
I told him this that it was the police who applied for the order.
He said that no one had the right to say this within an ASBO application due to the fact it would be down to each
local police licensing officer to make a decision, as each licensing application is dealt with by the local area
police licensing department within their area.
At this I asked him if he would be willing to confirm this in an email to me if I gave him my email address.
This reply was what I was already thinking, he could not write this without him knowing all the facts and that due
this being a police matter and going to police he would not feel comfortable.
He said if he gave me his email and I wrote everything down and the full information about the application for
the ASBO he would look into it.
We spoke a little more and I explained that I did not want information as to the ASBO application just advice as
to if someone had this ASBO order under the conditions that I have said would they be able to get a licence.
But there will be problems he said he would have to look over everything and have meetings with my son and do
a lot more checks.
Due to him being busy and the call taking longer he was due to go into a meeting and had to get off the phone I
forgot to take his email due to talking about the licensing.
So I do not understand how within this whole application my son has been told that this ASBO would have no
impact on his business and not be inhibited by this order.
