The Portscatho Social Club is asking Cornwall Council's licensing committee to extend its closing from midnight to 1am.

It regularly stages live music events, bingo and quiz nights as well as running a popular film club on Monday nights.

But Elizabeth Walters, 53, of North Parade, who has written to the licensing committee, is urging club officials to enforce its rules and stop the noise.

She said: "I have already complained to the committee and was told that they were treating the issue extremely seriously. But nothing has changed."

She claimed the problems were worse at weekends when the club stages live music events and drinks promotions.

Hanging around

"I knew the club was there when I bought the property and I appreciate people need somewhere to go.

"But I regularly find I am awake at 3am unable to sleep because of people hanging around after the club has closed, smoking and drinking outside."


John King Comments:
Second-home owner from Derbyshire (woman 53) buys house with bedroom 4 metres from door of social club. Now she is objecting to it's licence. Yet again these purely selfish actions will be rewarded by t...he Licensing Authority. So much for the Big Society.
Do you get the impression that licensing officers take these kinds of cases up because they have NOTHING else to do with their time?
