Bar where trackies are banned to close over 'violence' reports

A bar's licence has been revoked by Wirral Council after police asked for a review over reports of violence.

This means the Platinum Bar, on Conway Street, Birkenhead, will close on September 7 when the decision comes into effect unless an appeal is made.

In November 2021, the bar’s licence was temporarily suspended on the grounds of serious disorder and crime on the premises.
