A row over late night licences for pubs and bars in the Old City in Bristol will be discussed by councillors after thousands of people signed a petition set up by a furious landlord.
Marc Griffiths, who runs two pubs in the historic part of Bristol city centre, wants councillors to tell officers to think again about a clampdown on customers drinking on tables and chairs in the street after 11pm.
Bristol City Council said officers had reminded landlords that their licences meant they couldn’t have pavement tables and chairs occupied after 11pm, and said they did so because there had been a number of complaints.
