Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Wednesday July 19 2023 Selwyn Times NEWS 3 Popular hotel’s licence up in air after authorities oppose renewal • By Daniel Alvey ONE OF the district’s best known hotels could lose its liquor licence or have restrictions placed on its operation. Police, the district council licensing inspector and Canterbury’s medical officer of health are opposing the renewal of The Famous Grouse Hotel in Lincoln’s licence. A date for a potential hearing is expected to be determined this week. At the hearing, all parties, including Lynn Townsend the Grouse, can present evidence and make submissions. The Lincoln Club operates The Famous Grouse through its company Famous Grouse 2009 Ltd. The club has about 500 members and promotes itself as ‘the club in a pub’. Famous Grouse 2009 Ltd director and Lincoln Club immediate past president Lynn Townsend believes the hotel won’t lose its licence. OPPOSITION: Police, the district council licensing inspector and Canterbury’s medical officer of health have opposed The Famous Grouse’s liquor licence renewal. In recent years, the hotel has courted Lincoln University student events for business. But with that revenue source comes the potential issues involving young people and alcohol. Townsend said the opposition to the licence renewal was a surprise. “We were very surprised to hear at the very last minute the police put an application to oppose the renewal,” Townsend said. Townsend wouldn’t specifically say what the issues were for the opposition but pointed to students. “Particularly what happens at times with students and sometimes situations develop before we can do anything about it, despite security and staff surveillance,” he said. Townsend thought it was unlikely the hotel would lose its licence, rather it was more likely to have extra conditions added to the licence. It is possible there may not be a hearing if The Famous Grouse’s lawyers, police, the medical officer of health and the district council licensing officer come to a resolution. Asked by the Selwyn Times if there was a contingency plan for the Lincoln Club if the hotel loses its licence, Townsend said: “I’m sure it’s not going to get to that point. We’re not too concerned about it.” The Lincoln Club does not have a separate licence from Famous Grouse 2009 Ltd to operate, he said. Sergeant David Robertson, from the alcohol harm prevention unit, declined to specify why police opposed the renewal. “The police position takes into account a number of factors, including the potential for alcohol harm to arise from the premises,” Robertson said. “As the matter is yet to be scheduled for a public hearing police do not seek to make further comment at this time.” District council chief licensing inspector Malcolm Johnston would not comment on the matter, but said it could be resolved without a licence suspension. New look for old bar THE BAR scene in fastgrowing Prebbleton is about to hot up. Armadillos, which closed last year, has been sold and will reopen under new ownership in October or November. It will revert to its former name The Bridge and will get a refurbishment from its new owners, who also have the Tai Tapu Hotel Restaurant and Bar. The bar is a short distance from Finnegans Village Tavern and The Good Home, Prebbleton.
