Council bosses have ordered a clean-up of a derelict pub in Newcastle’s West End.
The owners of the Plaza Tavern, which was originally the Plaza cinema, have been told to carry out repairs at the dilapidated site on the West Road. Newcastle City Council has served an enforcement notice on R Real Estate Limited, demanding an extensive list of works – including the removal of graffiti, boarding up broken windows, and getting rid of rubble.
The property firm said that the repairs would be completed, but that they had encountered difficulties finding contractors to carry them out.
