The force had initially wanted the pub’s licence revoked, but Preston City Council’s licensing sub-committee instead demanded an extension to the closure period – and set strict rules about how the hostelry must operate when it eventually reopened. Gary Roberts, operations director for Blackpool-based Amber Taverns, said: “As a pub, it was too small to be financially viable. Most of the other similar-sized properties in the area have been converted to bedsits or flats.
He said they would have been put off by the new 11pm closing time that had been imposed on the venue by the three-strong panel of councillors. Prior to the incident, The Wellfield had been able to trade until 1am most nights and 1.30am on Fridays and Saturdays.
