A North Shields arts venue has withdrawn its application to temporarily serve alcohol this bank holiday weekend after Northumbria Police raised objections.
The owners of Studio 12A, formerly Pots and Pancakes on 12a Russell Street, applied for a 'Temporary Event Notice' (TEN) with North Tyneside Council, permitting the sale of alcohol for consumption within the venue for May 5 and 6. However, Northumbria Police objected to the application based on complaints received from the last time a TEN was granted.
A previous TEN was permitted on April 14 and 15, 2023, for a live music performance and charity event, according to co-owner Heactor Teasdale, 24, around 60 to 75 people attended.
