Two Ribble Valley women hoping to open a Spanish tapas restaurant in Whalley had to explain how their plans would not worsen late-night disturbances in the village.
Kellie Hughes and Danielle Roberts have applied to Ribble Valley Borough Council for a premises licence to open a restaurant called Tapas Forty Seven at 47 King Street in Whalley.
Councillors on the borough’s licensing sub-committee considered the premises licence application for the tapas restaurant proposal on Monday, July 11. “I have already fitted CCTV outside the shop and I care about Whalley with all my heart. If I thought this restaurant idea would create any problems then I would not do it.”
“A key issue is where do people go after 10pm? This restaurant won’ t be open late but will customers then go elsewhere? At weekends, a number of venues in Whalley are open late, so people from the tapas restaurant would move on somewhere else. The phrase we often hear from residents is ‘enough is enough’. Residents are asking if we need another premises open in the evenings? ”
However, Ms Hughes said: “The restaurant will be high-end. We have invested a lot of money in it. It will not be cheap tapas. It will be quite exclusive. The clientèle we want would not go to some other venues you may be thinking about. Those venues are not their scene.”
