Friends of Richmond Green continue to object to premises licence applications in the Richmond area.

The Licensing Sub-Committee granted a new premises licence for Jamaica Blue in June 2026, which Friends of Richmond Green had opposed. A decision on The Mirror Café's licence, following objections from local resident associations concerning noise and public safety, was expected in March 2026. In September 2026, a licence was also granted for Tesco Express.

Friends of Richmond Green, a community group advocating for Richmond Green, has consistently opposed premises licence applications. Local residents and associations also voiced strong opposition in August 2025 to a new convenience store's application for late-night alcohol sales, citing concerns about crime and public nuisance.
