Warrington residents have until 24 May 2026 to share their views on a new alcohol licence application for a shop in the town centre. Warrington Discount House Ltd is seeking permission to sell alcohol for consumption off the premises at Unit 1, 40 Town Hill, Bank Chambers in Warrington.
The application proposes that the shop be allowed to sell alcohol between 08:00 and 22:00, seven days a week. Under the standard process overseen by Warrington Borough Council, the public and relevant authorities have 28 days to provide feedback on the request.
Anyone wishing to support or object to the application must submit their comments in writing to the council’s Licensing Section. Written representations should be sent to the Licensing Section, Warrington Borough Council, Town Hall, East Annex, Sankey Street, Warrington, WA1 2UH. Residents can also contact the licensing team by phone at 01925 984728 or via the information provided on the council’s website.
The council assesses all new licence applications according to its Statement of Licensing Policy 2025-28. This policy requires applicants to show how their business will promote the four licensing objectives, including public safety and the prevention of crime and disorder. While the council previously maintained a specific policy for Bridge Street regarding the cumulative impact of licensed premises, this is currently being removed following a review of the council’s Cumulative Impact Assessment.
If no formal objections are received, the application must be granted as submitted. Should residents or responsible authorities submit relevant feedback, the matter will be reviewed by the council’s Licensing Sub-Committee at a future hearing.
