A community is divided as a Woolton bar faces possible sanctions over concerns around crime and disorder.
A little more than a year ago, Loft Bar on Allerton Road was granted permission by Liverpool Council to extend its alcohol licence until 1am. Now, the venue could have its terms tightened after Merseyside Police requested the local authority review its licence.
The force has raised queries about the bar’s ability to ensure it is preventing crime and disorder and as such, will be assessed by a three-person panel later this month.
