1 12.00 there was a problem and we only did one environment/index.html">litter patrol
2 between 11.00 and 12 o'clock and, basically, there was a
3 problem because people either came from wine bars or from
4 pubs and, because 11.00 and 12.00 there was no trash walk
5 done, there was a potential problem, although it did not
6 happen every day, but especially the weekends were -- could
7 be bad.
8
9 MS. STEEL: Then after the licence to remain open was turned
10 down -- to remain the actual store open -- the problem with
11 environment/index.html">litter got worse, you say?
12 A. No, we introduced that 11.30 trash walk.
13
14 Q. Right, but you say in this sentence: "As a result, such
15 environment/index.html">litter problems as we had became worse rather than better".
16 So, things got worse after this time?
17 A. Yes, worse in the sense that you could see environment/index.html">litter on
18 the street and we had to pick up even after midnight.
19
20 Q. Right. You said there was only one environment/index.html">litter patrol between
21 11.00 and 12.00. After it got dark was there only one an
22 hour, or something like that, or how often did they take
23 place?
24 A. No, no, it was still the same as I suggested before.
25 There were employees who were, like the ones over 40, there
26 were a couple of other, I think that some of them were over
27 27, 28. So, there was a good collection of people who were
28 mature people, so there was no problem as such.
29
30 Q. Yes, but how often were there environment/index.html">litter patrols when it was
31 dark?
32 A. With the same frequency as I suggested before, with
33 every half an hour, but sometimes things have been missed
34 out like during the day too.
35
36 Q. Until 11.00 when they were not every half hour, or was it
37 before then that that stopped?
38 A. No, until midnight because 11.30 there was extra walk
39 and then 12 o'clock.
40
41 Q. No, before the application.
42 A. Right, we used to stop at 11.00, then we -----
43
44 Q. You stopped altogether at 11.00?
45 A. No, no, we stopped at 11.00, so that because it was all
46 take-away we used to wait until 12 o'clock.
47
48 Q. Were the staff quite happy to do these late night trash
49 walks?
50 A. Yes, they were.
51
52 Q. They were?
53 A. Yes.
54
55 Q. They continued all the time that you were manager?
56 A. Yes, they did.
57
58 Q. When you say in the last sentence: "In respect of the
59 application for a licence being refused, to that extent
60 I believe that the local residents' objections to the
