BOOZE – IT BEGINS |
 A
RAFT of pubs in residential areas have applied this week for
longer drinking hours under new licensing laws – prompting
fears of sleepless nights and lawlessness on the streets of
Camden.
Pubs in Highgate, Hampstead, Gospel Oak and Elm Village have
asked for extending opening times.
On Monday, the Primrose Hill pub at the centre of a licensing
row won the right to serve drinkers in to the early hours
– fuelling fears that the council will give the go-ahead
to similar applications.
This follows a bitter fight between neighbours worried about
late night disorder and Princess of Wales publican Jane Symonds
which came to a head in a Town Hall licensing meeting on Monday.
A three-strong panel made up of Labour councillors Sue Vincent,
Abdul Quadir and Tory Dawn Somper decided that despite objections
– including nearly 100 letters against the plans –
they had to give the pub the right to serve later into the
night.
Cllr Sue Vincent said: “Although the residents have concerns
about crime and noise, there is no evidence the pub has caused
a nuisance and there has not been one complaint to the council.
We can’t turn down the application because of fears of
what might happen.” |

| Shy
pensioner murder probe |
|
MURDER squad detectives this week launched
an investigation into the killing of a gay pensioner at
his Hampstead home.
Roger Hendra, 65, was found dead at his Pond Street, South
End Green home on Thursday night.
Police discovered him with a fatal stab wound to his neck
after worried friends raised the alarm.
He was last seen alive a week earlier in a Hampstead shop
and is believed to have been dead for several days when
his body was found.
Detective Chief Inspector Michael Broster, leading the investigation,
said there was no sign of any struggle or disturbance inside
the top floor flat.
Officers in forensic overalls spent several hours hunting
for clues on Friday before removing the body in the evening.
