A BORDON shop has been fined £80 after failing a police test purchase.

Licensing officers, assisted by the safer neighbourhoods team, carried out a test-purchase operation at off-licences in and around the area on October 27.

One Stop, in Ennerdale Road, was one of only two stores which failed out of 17 tested.

Tesco Express, in Petersfield, also failed.

At both premises, an £80 fixed-penalty notices were issued to the person making the sale, and follow-up visits with the premises management will take place.
