A new feud is brewing between police and Newcastle’s notorious Sayers family – over plans to sell mulled wine and hot toddies on one of Tyneside's busiest streets.
John Henry Sayers Jr, son of infamous hardman John Henry Sayers Sr, is in a battle with city authorities over a bid to expand his food and drink kiosk business on Northumberland Street because of his family’s past.
After opening the Saye’s To Go stand at the bottom of the city centre high street late last year, he applied to Newcastle City Council for an alcohol licence that would allow it to serve some favourite festive tipples during the Christmas shopping season.
