The landlords of a pub stripped of its alcohol licence over Covid rule breaches have lodged an appeal against the decision.
David and Maureen Wiles, who run the Wheatsheaf in Whitchurch, say Shropshire Council’s revocation of the premises licence was unfair and have drafted in a specialist lawyer to fight it.
On January 18 officers found Mr and Mrs Wiles and two other people drinking in the bar, and Mrs Wiles was fined along with the two members of the public. The panel further heard that a member of the public had contacted the council’s licensing department in October 2020 – when pubs were permitted to be open with safety measures in place – raising concerns that they had not been required to provide their details for contact tracing and had been served at the bar.
Further concerns were raised about the landlords letting “two individuals who are not employees at the premises” run the pub while they were away in North Wales, with no way of monitoring what was going on. “One was a video taken by a customer which he claims was taken at 6pm in October. He claimed we had no Covid sign-in, and that he was served at the bar.
