The decision relates to Berwick Manor Hotel in Berwick Pond Road, which has lost its license to host activities outside. The hotel's designated premises officer (DPS) was also removed from the site, meaning the hotel won't be able to sell alcohol until they are fully replaced. He said: “The licensing sub-committee has also decided to take one further step to remove the DPS from the premises license. According to a copy of the hotel's license, visible on the council's website, Pareshkumar Arvindbhai Patel is the DPS. Mr Malik added: “The consequences of removing the DPS is that until the premises license holder finds a DPS of an acceptable standard, the premises will not be allowed to sell alcohol.
