Neighbours of a golf club in a posh village say the upmarket on-site restaurant is now 'more like a nightclub'. Disgruntled locals aired their views as they objected to plans to allow a marquee next to the Lockside at Greenway Hall Golf Club in Stockton Brook to be used for more events.
They say disruption from the venue has become 'intolerable' with 'excessive noise', litter and 'pools of vomit' outside on some occasions. One woman even claimed she had suffered 'homophobic abuse' from visitors and had been kept awake on multiple nights.
As a result, they are fighting proposals to extend the existing licensing arrangements to include the space at the side of the clubhouse, where the marquee is based. Brett Barlow and his business partner Adam Gregory took over the tenancy of the North Staffordshire clubhouse in October last year and have refurbished the premises throughout, welcomed the first diners and drinkers to Lockside (in Bagnell) at the beginning of December, StokeonTrentLive reports.
