Pub warned it could lose licence after reports of violence and breaches of pandemic rules

The landlady of a popular pub near Bury has been warned she could lose its licence following reports of violence, drug incidents, disturbances and arguments and multiple breaches of Covid pandemic rules.

Police say they have received 35 incidents at the Roebuck Inn on Burnley Road East in Rossendale since early 2020. It also has the second-highest recorded number of incidents in the area during the past year.

Licensee Marie Burke now faces a premises licence review by Rossendale Council’s Licensing Committee on April 26. Ms Burke has held the premises licence and been named as the designated premises supervisor since February 2020, according to licensing committee documents.
