Shopkeeper wins alcohol licence for Caerphilly store despite axe-throwing concerns

Caerphilly councillors have approved an alcohol licence for a new shop next to an axe-throwing business that raised safety concerns.

Caerphilly County Borough Council's licensing committee unanimously approved an alcohol licence for RS United Groups' new shop at Pontygwindy Road, despite objections from the neighbouring Axcalibur axe-throwing venue. The owners of Axcalibur, Alex and Lela Georgijev, argued that alcohol sales next door could compromise their ability to ensure customers were fit to throw axes. They also alleged that one applicant, Santhosh Ashireddy, had breached licence conditions at another premises in Cardiff, though the shop's representative said breaches were corrected immediately. The licence permits alcohol sales from 7am to 11pm daily.
