Bangor faces public disorder challenges, leading to calls for security at a new takeaway
Bangor: There’s been some trouble with late-night takeaways in Bangor. Police have reported a rise in anti-social behavior and public disorder, especially involving alcohol. They’ve noticed that when security staff are on duty during late hours, things tend to calm down.
This info came from North Wales Police in a report about a new takeaway application for the New Bangor Grill Ltd. They want to set up shop at the Deiniol Centre and serve late-night food.
The takeaway plans to offer a variety of grilled foods, burgers, and desserts, but they’re not planning to hire security staff on weekends. Police think that’s a bit risky, given the recent issues in the area.
While there’s no direct evidence of crime linked to the new site, police suggest that having security could help. They pointed out that the nearby police station shouldn’t be the only safety measure relied upon.
Late-night takeaways have had their share of problems, and many have opted for security to keep things in check. The new burger bar wants to stay open from 11 am to 2 am every day, which could attract a crowd.
The applicant has promised to keep the place up to standard, with plans for a modern kitchen and noise control. They’ll also have CCTV to monitor the area and ensure everything runs smoothly.
They’re even planning to train staff in first aid and safety procedures. Plus, there will be bins for litter to keep the area tidy. The council seems satisfied with the application, but they’ll consider police recommendations about security before giving the green light.
The licensing committee will meet on January 21, 2025, to discuss this further. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out!
