Nailsea shop closed after stripped off alcohol licence over underage sale

A Nailsea shop will not reopen after being stripped of its licence for selling alcohol and vapes to underage teens.

Police and trading standards swooped on Colliers Walk business after multiple complaints from parents and Nailsea School. 

According to local reports, a woman told a media outlet that her 15-year-old son had bought vodka and Jack Daniel’s from Nailsea International Store and staff made no attempt to check his age. 

Owner Nadjet Mosher admitted guilt but said he was ill when his associate made underage sales which in turn became well known among Nailsea School students and prompted safeguarding concerns, reports said.

Mosher said he shut the store in January and it would not reopen. He had already offered to surrender the premises licence when councillors voted to revoke it.
