Police object to Knaresborough pub's plans to serve late drinks outside
A Knaresborough pub could be granted permission to serve customers alcohol outside until 10pm if an objection from police is withdrawn.
The Cricketers, located on Thistle Hill, Calcutt, wants approval to extend its premises licence to include an outdoor bar but North Yorkshire Police says it must agree to rules around CCTV.
Licensing officer PC Jackie Allen said in an objection to the application that while cameras were being installed to cover the outdoor area they must be of a high quality, recording at all times when the pub is open and with the footage made available within 48 hours of any request. She said:

The pub is located at the former Union Hotel and is owned by national brewing and pub retailing business Marston’s.
Currently, it has a licence to serve customers from the indoor bar until midnight Sunday to Thursday and 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
The new application, set to be decided by Harrogate Borough Council’s licensing sub-committee at a meeting next Tuesday, will cover service from a new outdoor bar.
No other objections other than from North Yorkshire Police have been received.
