I have just been called by a Council Licensing Officer who, along with the local police have just called into the Crossbar to discover that a licensing condition has already been breached within the first 36 hours of opening. One of the licensing conditions, which was offered by the applicant was that there would be an SIA licensed door person on duty on Friday and Saturday evenings from 7:30pm until closing. Well the Police and Licensing Officer have confirmed that there is no door person on duty and the Designated Premise Supervisor was not on the premises. What happened to the promises of a community pub? This is exactly what I and local residents feared and that is why we opposed the license…………………
