Sheffield Pub News - May 2009

A Sheffield pub has become a self-styled "smoking research centre". Landlord Craig Johnston of the Sheaf pub on Fraser Road has followed the lead of the Cutting Edge in Barnsley, which requires customers to answer a questionnaire before buying a drink and then smoking in the pub.

Plans to turn the ex-Barclays Bank on Glossop Road into a bar or restaurant have been rejected by Sheffield Council's city centre, south and east planning board. Local residents had objected to the application, fearing that the opening of another bar would create noise and late-night disturbance problems. The Council planning board turned down the plans by property company Atisreal on the grounds that there are already sufficient bars in that area.
