A nightclub’s bid to extend its opening hours has been objected to by police.

The applicant Momen Khan has applied for the Broadway Boulevard club to open an extra hour, until 4am, from December 27 until the January 1.

But North Wales Police have objected to the plans citing concerns over crime and disorder in the area around the club.

PC Manus Sheridan wrote to Conwy Council’s licensing committee to detail the force’s concerns.

He said: “North Wales Police are not satisfied that this event will not undermine the licensing objectives – in particular the prevention of crime and disorder’ and prevention of public nuisance.”

The club currently has to close at 3am.

PC Sheridan said there were more than “34 recorded incidents of crime and disorder/anti-social behaviour, in the last 12 months, directly linked to the Broadway Boulevard and its operations under its current premises licence, almost all of these matters involve individuals at or from the location described by officers as intoxicated”.

“There have also been over 60 individual calls to incidents directly linked to the Broadway Boulevard in the same period.”

He added:  “Whilst I appreciate the request is for one hour per day added to their operating hours, I believe this will only exacerbate the problem into the early morning.

“This temporary events notice will mean it will operate on three of the days it is usually closed to the public.

“I therefore have concerns with the premises ability to control crime and anti-social behaviour when such figures exist for when it it usually open. I believe this will expose the wider community to crime and disorder that it regularly is not exposed to on those days.”

In September an application to extend the hours of the club until 4am for seven nights a week on a permanent basis was rejected by county councillors after residents objected.

A hearing into the latest application will be held in front a sub-committee of the committee at Llandudno Town Hall on Monday, December 23, starting at 10am.
