Prohibition notice served to Sheffield pub flouting restrictions A Sheffield pub, which was found to still be opening despite current coronavirus restrictions, has been served a prohibition notice by South Yorkshire Police and Sheffield City Council. The Pitsmoor Hotel on Pitsmoor Road was brought to the attention of licensing teams by members of the public who had reported it was still serving customers. The new Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020 were announced by the Government earlier

this month. Under this new legislation local authorities and the police can close premises that are flouting the closure ban. John O’Malley, Liquor Licensing Manager at South Yorkshire Police, said: “On Friday night, officers attended the premises and found a number of people hiding in cupboards, the pub was clearly still open for business. “What makes this more significant, is that the license holder has already been served a prohibition notice under the legislation for another premise, The Staffordshire

Arms on Sorby Street. “Licenses for both venues are now under review by ourselves and Sheffield City Council, so there could be long-term implications for these businesses. “Right across South Yorkshire we have seen fantastic support, compliance and respect for the restrictions from our licensed premises. “I want responsible businesses to see that we are taking enforcement action when it comes to venues who are flouting the rules and ultimately putting lives at risk. “I’d also like to thank the public for being vigilant

and reporting their concerns.” Reports continue to be made these are being investigated. Anyone found to be operating in contravention of the new rules will face enforcement action. Cllr Bob Johnson, Cabinet Member for Transport and Development at Sheffield City Council, said: “These restrictions are in place to protect everyone from the spread of coronavirus. “Hundreds of people are still dying in the UK amidst this pandemic and whilst I am heartened by the sacrifices the vast

majority of individuals and responsible businesses are making during this lockdown period, it seems some appear to believe they can ignore the regulations and in doing so risk spreading the virus. “In these cases, as we have shown here, we will follow up on complaints and take firm action. “This license holder has ignored the restrictions, despite having another premises shut down, and may now face additional consequences around the future of these licenses. “We ask members of the public to continue reporting their concerns so that we can protect our NHS and protect lives.” People can report these issues seven days a week by mailing healthprotection@ sheffield.gov.uk.
