Two sisters who run a pub near Bury say they have been nicknamed the 'Kray twins' as they try to tackle problem customers after being given a second chance by council bosses at a licensing review.
Licensee Marie Burke and sister Jayne Walton run the Roebuck pub in Waterfoot, Rossendale, which has been plagued with a series of complaints relating to fights and breaches of pandemic rules. Police say they have been called out to the pub on 35 occasions in the last two years, with the venue also having the second-highest recorded number of incidents in the area in the past year.
The sisters faced a premises licence review by Rossendale Council’s Licensing Committee on Tuesday (April 26) where they were told alcohol sales and music activities must now stop earlier and new conditions must be followed to stop noise, disturbances and disorder.
