The new operator of a popular event space on the outskirts of Liverpool city centre has stressed the venue is “not just raves.”
Concerns had been raised about the future of the former Ten Streets Market venue on Cotton Street after a premises licence application was made by Joseph Burns to sell alcohol and open up until 4am. Public representations were made to Liverpool Council by residents and an elected member about the potential harm the new operation could cause, with some fearing it would lead to “tensions and potential disorder” or an increase in noise.
Mr Burns, who co-owns the neighbouring Ten Streets Social, said it was a family run business established in 2020 and when the previous market operation closed down last year, the opportunity emerged to expand. He said at the restaurant on nearby Regent Road, the team had staged a variety of events.
