Overview

  • Westminster City licensing committee meets June 4 to decide if GoBoat UK can serve alcohol on its new Paddington luxury service
  • Residents and boat owners cite previous incidents of public sex, nudity, garden fouling and property damage by unsupervised drinkers
  • Environmental Health Service warns the licence could trigger increased public nuisance and pose safety risks
  • GoBoat pledges to limit alcohol consumption under a zero-tolerance policy enforced by Power Boat Level 2 certified skippers
  • Approval would also permit converting a shipping container at Merchant Square into an alcohol kiosk operating daily from 9am to 10pm
