Pub Licence Suspended After Violence

Thursday, 18 February 2016 09:31

A Leeds pub has had its licence suspended pending a review following two incidents of violent disorder in six weeks.

Officers from Leeds District Licensing have applied to the council's Licensing Committee for a full review of the licence for The Aviator public house, in High Street, Yeadon.

The move was prompted by a large fight at the pub on Saturday, February 6, which is the subject of an ongoing investigation. Four men were injured in the incident with three requiring hospital treatment for their injuries.

Sergeant Dave Shaw, of Leeds District Licensing, said: "This was a very serious incident which came only six weeks after a similar incident of disorder at the premises.

"Due to the serious nature of the incidents and the frequency of them, we have been left with no alternative but to apply for a summary review of the premises licence to protect public safety.

"Interim steps have been put in place by the Licensing Committee to suspend the premises licence until a full licence review takes place on March 7.

""Applying for the premises licence to be reviewed is not a measure we take lightly but we feel it is appropriate in this case and we hope it will result in an improvement in the current situation."
