Court Upholds Council's Decision On Bar Centro


Thursday 29th May 2014



A town centre bar has been refused permission to re-open, after magistrates upheld the decision by Chesterfield Borough Council's licensing committee to revoke its licence.

A town centre bar has been refused permission to re-open, after magistrates upheld the decision by Chesterfield Borough Council's licensing committee to revoke its licence.

Yesterday (Wednesday, 28th May), Chesterfield Magistrates dismissed the appeal by Nicholas Carter, owner of Bar Centro (above), on Holywell Street, against the decision of the licensing committee on 13th January this year, to remove his licence.

Councillor Chris Ludlow, Chesterfield Borough Council's Executive Member for Environment said: We are pleased the magistrates upheld the decision of the licensing committee to revoke Bar Centro's licence.This came after a Derbyshire Police operation found that drug dealing had taken place in the bar openly, in view of staff and customers. Carter was ordered to pay the council's costs of £6,850.

Councillor Chris Ludlow, Chesterfield Borough Council's Executive Member for Environment (left), said: "We are pleased the magistrates upheld the decision of the licensing committee to revoke Bar Centro's licence.

"We will not tolerate drug dealing and both the committee and the court found there were not sufficient measures in place at the bar to prevent dealing on the premises."
