Shop worker keeps licence

A SHOP worker has been allowed to keep his alcohol licence despite selling drink to a 16-year-old.

Qaisar Nawaz was caught by police in a test purchasing scheme at an off-licence.

His wife, speaking on his behalf, explained that he'd been sacked as a result. She added he'd since found work at Spar and revoking his personal licence would jeopardise that job.

The council agreed to let him keep the licence, but emphasised this was a last chance.
