Mariners decision postponed
A MEETING of the County Council’s Licensing Sub-committee held on Thursday (Jan 8) has reserved its decision on an application for a review of the premises licence for a prominent Tenby public house. Dyfed-Powys Police had initiated a review procedure in relation to the Three Mariners Inn, situated in St George’s Street, Tenby.
Witness statements filed before the committee made a series of allegations about crime and disorder around the premises, unacceptable levels of noise and rowdy behaviour, and the nuisance caused by littering and the conduct of pub patron’s exiting the premises at or around closing time. The allegations include reference to pub customers having drunken sex in the doorways of neighbouring properties and that the pub licensee had hosed cigarette butts into a public drain, causing it to become blocked.
Thirteen supporting witness statements and a further two hundred pages of Police reports detailing alleged failings by the pub’s door staff to control entry and deal with violence, were placed before the sub-committee. The meeting heard the evidence of police officers relating to specific incidents and spent the day considering it and representations made by and on behalf of the licensee and the Punch Taverns Ltd, who own the freehold to the premises. A notice was also received from Turret Security, who provide door services at the premises, that they wished to be heard by the subcommittee After hearing the complex evidence, some of which was contested by the licensee as being attributable to problems caused by drunken revellers from other licensed premises, the sub-committee resolved to deliver a decision within five working days.
