\n The event, at Bar Coast and Harry\u2019s Lounge Bar on Old Christchurch Road, is due to take place on Saturday, October 17.\n<\/p>\n
\n The venue submitted an application for a temporary event notice (TEN) for the boxing from 2pm to 11.30pm.\n<\/p>\n

\n The current licence for the venue does not cover boxing and wrestling entertainment.\n<\/p>\n
\n The plans were heard at the licensing committee meeting on September 15.\n<\/p>\n
\n An objection to the application came from Dorset Police, who raised concerns about the area\u2019s history with alcohol-related crime and antisocial behaviour.\n<\/p>\n
\n They voiced concerns that the addition of alcohol sales at the boxing event could exacerbate issues impacting public safety.\n<\/p>\n
\n James Gordon, the owner of Bar Coast and Harry\u2019s Lounge Bar, told the committee: \u201cWe have taken feedback on board and believe we have now created a robust plan.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe event will be held from the afternoon until 10pm so the necessarily a hotspot time for anti-social behaviour.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe have implemented a request from for ticket sales to know how many people are coming for a particular bout so we know how many people are coming and going at what time so we can put procedures in place to make sure everyone doesn\u2019t leave at once.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n Councillors were told that\u00a0total capacity for the event, is expected to be 420, plus the team involved.\n<\/p>\n
\n Sergeant Mike Woods of Dorset Police expressed further concerns, stating: \u201cConcerns still remain about dispersal as we can\u2019t guarantee people won\u2019t all leave at the same time.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cHeatmaps show ASB tends to take place after 10pm, but crime and disorder is not by appointment but with the additional security measures I am more reassured than I was.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n In response to a question from a councillor about additional police patrols on the event day, Sergeant Woods stated: \u201cThere will be no additional resources, but there will certainly be officers on the ground\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The licensing committee will make a decision in private before publishing a decision in five working days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The event, at Bar Coast and Harry\u2019s Lounge Bar on Old Christchurch Road, is due to take place…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":772282,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-772281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/772281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=772281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/772281\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/772282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=772281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=772281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=772281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
