Sandwell Council’s licensing sub-committee will meet on Monday to discuss the premises licence for Tamasha, in Cape Hill.

The authority’s trading standards requested a review of the licence in February after the illegal cigarettes were found.

A report to the committee said: “The application has been made on the grounds of the prevention of crime and disorder following an inspection of the business premises by SMBC trading standards who found illicit tobacco at the premises and also failure to comply with a number of licensing conditions.”

The meeting takes place at Sandwell Council House on Monday at 10am.
