Burnley Council`s licensing sub-committee has met to consider in full a police application for summary review of a local pub after staff were found to have broken Covid safety restrictions.

The committee decided the licence of the Angel Inn, Accrington Road, should be suspended for three months. Having already been suspended as an interim step at an earlier hearing, the three-month suspension will begin once any appeal period has lapsed, or if an appeal is lodged once the appeal has been dealt with. In the meantime, the interim suspension remains in place.
