About
I'm a councillor in the London Borough of Wandsworth; this blog mainly covers that, sometimes general politics and policy and occasionally anything else that takes my fancy.

The Beaufoy Bar, Lavender Hill
View Larger Map A licensing review for the Beaufoy Bar on Lavender Hill has been requested by a local resident. As the law currently stands anyone can ask the council to review the licence of a local premises (and the most recent act expands that power) if they feel the licence does not uphold the

The Crown – hostel or not?
View Larger Map Last month I highlighted the (what I thought) unusual application to turn The Crown on Lavender Hill into a pub and hostel. Since then the applicant has withdrawn their planning application. While this often happens when it seems rejection – or a recommendation to reject – is likely I do not know

The Crown Hostel?
View Larger Map I don’t think I’ve ever flagged up a planning application on here in the same way I highlight licensing applications. There are several reasons for this, the main one being that planning is just not one of my things: I know how important it is, but it’s not something that interests me

Shaftesbury Club licensing application
View Larger Map The Shaftesbury Club at 128 Lavender Hill have applied for an extension to their current hours. They are applying to extend their hours for music and entertainment to midnight seven days a week, and for the sale of alcohol until midnight every night except Friday and Saturday for which they have applied

Toscana licensing application
View Larger Map Pizza Toscana at 127A Lavender Hill have applied for a later licence. I’m never really sure what to think about this sort of application, on the face of it they are primarily selling food, so you wouldn’t expect problems, but in other areas often pubs, bars and clubs are relatively trouble-free –

Revolution licensing application
View Larger Map Revolution on Lavender Hill are looking to open for a few more hours each week, essentially an extra hour every night from Sunday to Wednesday (they already open later on Thursdays to Saturdays). The new hours would see them able to sell alcohol until midnight – rather than 11pm – on those

Mish Mash no more
View Larger Map I don’t often post about planning applications, mainly – I think – because planning is not one of my areas of interest on the council. I don’t know if this is a consequence of my personal predilections, or that Shaftesbury, as a ward, has relatively few controversial planning applications. However, one did

Best One licence review
View Larger Map Wandsworth’s Trading Standards team have applied for a licence review for Best One on Lavender Hill. The review application has been made because they believe the current licence conditions are not upholding the licencing objective of protecting children from harm (the council has four licencing objectives, preventing public nuisance, preventing crime and

Mien Tay licensing application
Mien Tay on Lavender Hill have applied for an alcohol licence. The restaurant has been incredibly well-reviewed since it opened and I can’t imagine this would be a contentious application (although there are some unpopular premises nearby!) The application would allow the sale of alcohol from 11am until midnight seven days a week, and extend

Clapham Junction roadworks
I’d totally forgotten about the Clapham Junction exemplar scheme work starting until I got stuck in traffic today. The roadworks have created a contraflow on Lavender Hill outside Asda (I think this is in Battersea, but you may want to check with their store manager) so it might be best avoided for a while. The
