Sheffield Pub News - October 2006

The Springfield Tavern near Sheffield city centre has been ordered to install noise abatement equipment following complaints from nearby residents. Neighbours wrote to Sheffield City Council claiming that that the pub was causing a "public nuisance" and the licensing board carried out a licence review hearing, which was the first to be performed in Sheffield. Landlady Clare Sanders and partner Graham Amos who have been running the pub since early 2005 are planning to appeal to Sheffield Magistrates' Court. An 80-signature petition from regulars and neighbours in support of the pub was also presented to the licensing board.

The Red House pub in Sheffield city centre has reopened again under new management. The pub has been in existence for over 100 years and the new owners are focussing on live music and hand-pulled ales.

Barnsley Council's planning board has been advised to reject plans to demolish the Rock Inn pub at Green Moor and build new houses on the site. Planning officers believe that the plans would create too much additional traffic in the area and more homes are not needed. However, landlady Jill Clancey is adamant that the pub will still close because the business is losing too much money.

The pub formerly known as the Manchester Hotel on Nursery Street has reopened as the Harlequin.

Locals have objected to plans to demolish the Rock Inn pub at Green Moor near Wortley in order to build houses on the site. A bid to flatten the pub and build 12 houses set to be considered by councillors on the planning board next week.
