The representations received

We therefore agree to reduce
the opening hours of the premises, known as Mansfield Snooker Club,

modify the conditions of the premises licence to include those
conditions as requested by the police as below and as agreed by the

order, numbered sequentially and kept for a period of 28

Summary of Application
To consider and determine an
application for the review of a Premises Licence under Section 51
of the Licensing Act 2003 for Mansfield Snooker Club, taking into
account the representation made by Cambridgeshire Constabulary in
their capacity as a Responsible Authority and the representation in
support of the review by Peterborough City Council’s
Pollution Control Team, also a Responsible Authority. There had
also been representations in support of the review from the
Millfield and New England Regeneration Partnership (MANERP) and a
local Councillor in their capacity as ‘other persons’.
The review was brought under the Prevention of Crime and Disorder
and Public Safety objectives.
A summary of the issues raised
within the representations included:
- Police
had concerns that alcohol related violent crime and anti-social
behaviour had increased remarkably over the 6 months prior to the
serving of the review documentation.
- The
Constabulary requested that the hours of the club be restricted to
08:00-23:00.
- Police
believed that the premises was not managed effectively by the
licence holder during the early hours of the day when he was not
present and the staff on duty were ineffective in preventing crime
and anti-social behaviour.
- Although no recent noise complaints had been received, the
Pollution Control Team noted that the licence conditions should be
updated to prevent any noise issues arising in the
future.
