Seaham pub closed after applying for new license following attack

A bar that was closed after a customer suffered a broken face in the attack has applied to reopen under new management.

Memory Lane in Seaham, County Durham, was closed in April after police and the council raised concerns about the management of the venue.

Terrie Price, who lost her license the next month but hopes to become the new manager, has submitted a new application.

Durham County Council’s licensing department objected to this and said it had no confidence it would be “carried out properly”.
