Wolverhampton restaurant's licence bid sparks safety fears
A restaurant and bar face opposition over its bid for a new licence after concerns over a faulty fire alarm and fears over disruption for people living in new homes nearby.
The First Class Lounge, in School Street, Wolverhampton, wants to operate out of the former home of Catellani’s Italian Restaurant which closed its doors a number of years ago.
Following the application, made by Erastus Ndi, a number of issues have been raised, as the venue is located within one of the city’s designated Cumulative Impact Zones.
This means the surrounding area has a high number of licenced premises, such and bars and restaurants, and councils work to limit further venues.
The two-storey venue plans to operate predominately as a restaurant during the week and as a nightclub on Friday and Saturday evenings.
