PUBS AND CLUBS UPDATE FEB 2021

The following pubs and clubs have been subject to changes during the lockdown period. All were closed before the lockdown started and seem unlikely to ever reopen as licensed premises.

Station Hotel, Swinton

Planning permission granted 15/1/21 to create flats above but retain bar and restaurant.

Sportsman, Swinton

The planning application for flats and retail units has been withdrawn following objections on traffic and parking grounds. Another application may be made.

New Red House (formerly Nautical Decades, Bridge Bar, Bridge Inn), Swinton

Planning Application passed to convert to housing.

Hatfield Arms, Laughton

The revised application for housing has been accepted. This includes conversion of the pub into flats instead of demolition, which was refused. Other housing will be built on the car park.

Maltby Miners Welfare Club (the "Stute")

Has been closed since late 2018 but was recently sold by owners CISWO to an undisclosed owner. It was the subject of an attempt to buy from a community group but a reported price tag of £175,000 put it beyond their reach.

Two neighbouring Kimberworth pubs; the Travellers and the Manor Barn, have been the subject of leaseholders handing in their leases in the wake of the pandemic. It is hoped that new licensees will be found for them to reopen soon.

It is expected that other premises will cease to be licensed following the pandemic. If anyone hears of any closures, please contact Paul Redfern via email (paul.redfern861@gmail.com). Thanks.
