Craig Scott Allen has applied to Blackpool Council for permission to serve alcohol at Ronnie’s Bar and Eatery on Whitegate Drive for an extra hour on weekdays
A neighbourhood bar that is wanting to extend its opening hours by just one hour during the week has rejected claims it will be disruptive.
They claimed there were people “sat shouting in the seating area around 1am”. But licensing consultant Mark Marshall, representing Ronnie’s, told a town hall licensing panel the bar was well run and had never been in any trouble with the authorities including the police.He said many neighbours supported the bar, and the seating area closed to drinkers at 10pm although it was used as a smoking area, and was part of the entrance and exit to the premises.
“Also in these financially difficult times any new opportunity to get money in the tills is important, with the cost of everything including stock and energy going up.” He added: “We have had people randomly drinking on the street who have used our benches as a sit down area, but they are not our customers.”
