Stamford bar gives up alcohol license because of anti-social behaviour
BBC Radio Lincolnshire
Barn 02, on Old Barn Passage, in Stamford has voluntarily surrendered its alcohol license before a review hearing that was due to be held today.
The Alcohol Licensing Team had accused the bar of serving alcohol after hours and being responsible for numerous examples of drunken and anti-social behaviour.
Today, before a hearing was due to take place, the owner of the premises said that he would no longer be contesting the evidence. As a result the bar can no longer serve alcohol.
