The Roaring Meg, Licensing Hearing - Monday, 23rd December, 2024 10.00 am
December 23, 2024 View on council websiteSummary
The Licensing Hearing scheduled for 23 December 2024 will include consideration of an application for the review of the premises licence for a business in Newark.
Review of Premises Licence - The Roaring Meg
Newark and Sherwood District Council's Licensing Sub-Committee has received an application for the review of the premises licence for The Roaring Meg.
The application was made by Catrin Styles, an Environmental Health Officer at the Council on 6 November 2024.
A visit to the premises was undertaken on 9 October 2024 following information received by Environmental Health. During the visit safety issues were identified concerning live and exposed electrical wiring and a damaged electrical installation structure. Following notification of the issues to the Premises Licence Holder, Cycle PS Ltd, they stated that they had no responsibility for repair and maintenance of the premises, and this was down to the leaseholder. This arrangement suggests that there is a lack of accountability for the state of the premises and the Premises Licence Holder is not able to ensure public safety is maintained.
Taken from page 4 of the meeting pack for the Licensing Hearing scheduled for 23 December 2024 (23.12.24 - Roaring Meg review Report)
Newark Town Council made a representation in support of the review, but no further information was received from them.
The Sub-Committee has a number of options available to them under The Licensing Act 2003. They are able to:
- Modify the conditions of the licence;
- Exclude a licensable activity1 from the scope of the licence;
- Remove the Designated Premises Supervisor2;
- Suspend the licence for a period not exceeding three months;
- Revoke the licence;
- Take no action.
-
A licensable activity is an activity that requires a licence from the council in order to be carried out legally. For example, selling alcohol, playing live music, and showing films are all licensable activities. ↩
-
The Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS) is the person named on a premises licence who has day-to-day responsibility for the running of the premises. ↩
