A pub landlord says a curfew crackdown by council enforcers on the late night outdoor pavement seating could kill off many city centre pubs.
Bristol City Council licensing officers have been visiting pubs in the Old City area of Bristol around Corn Street and St Nicholas Street, warning they will be visited by enforcement teams if they don’t bring all their customers inside by 10.30pm and remove the tables and chairs by 11pm each night.
The move has come as a shock to many pub landlords and owners in the city centre, who said they have been operating late into the evening with no complaints for years.
