The council will examine the ideas next week
Residents fear "fighting, screaming' and 'loud music" if plans to extend opening hours at a Leeds pub near a sheltered housing scheme are greenlit.
More than 40 people have already signed a petition opposing the plans for Number Thirty Three, in Town Street, Farsley, to open into the early hours on the weekends. Residents of nearby sheltered housing scheme Marsden Court have voiced concerns over potential crime and disorder if the premises licence variation is approved.
The residents' petition lists concerns such as "Fighting, screaming, slamming of car doors, and of course loud music". A report for the licensing meeting revealed that West Yorkshire Police had initially raised concerns but withdrew their objection after reaching an agreement with the applicant. The proposed licence variation would permit the bar, previously known as the New Inn, to remain open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays, and serve alcohol until 1.30am on these days. A licensing sub-committee will decide whether to grant or refuse the variation, or approve it with additional conditions.
Conditions already agreed upon with the police include CCTV, staff training and age checks on customers. A police report stated: "Staff shall be trained in procedures for dealing with unwell members of the public, including those who appear to be affected by alcohol or drugs."
