'Extremely serious' disorder sees bar lose licence
Police raised concerns about The Marie Rose bar on Frodingham Road after recent trouble
- Published
A Scunthorpe bar has lost its premises licence after recent 鈥渓arge-scale disorder鈥 at the venue.
The Mary Rose in Frodingham Road initially had its licence temporarily suspended at the request of Humberside Police after trouble at the premises on 7 September.
Despite representations from the licence holder for the venue, North Lincolnshire Council鈥檚 licensing sub-committee agreed to permanently revoke the licence on Thursday.
鈥淟ess punitive measures were discussed extensively,鈥 it stated in the decision outcome, but councillors did not feel these were sufficient, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) said.
The sub-committee viewed the recent violent incident as 鈥渆xtremely serious鈥.
The licence holder鈥檚 legal representative stated the licensee did not have any involvement with the day-to-day running and management of The Mary Rose, which councillors called 鈥渄eeply concerning鈥.
The licence holder can lodge a court appeal within three weeks of the decision.
According to the LDRS, at least 11 men have been charged in connection to the incident and appeared at Grimsby Crown Court earlier in October.
