Mohammad Chohan from Betsy’s X LDS had applied for permission to open his Broad Street business until 5am on Fridays and Saturdays.
After being told by police and Wolverhampton Council he would need to hire qualified door staff, Mr Chohan called the order “harsh and unnecessary” and asked why the takeaway and dessert shop business was being "singled out".
At a hearing of the council’s licensing sub-committee on August 5, Kayley Nixon, on behalf of West Midlands Police, said some agreements had been reached with Mr Chohan in relation to the late opening but there had been no agreement on the issue of qualified security staff.
