The fate of a city bar and entertainment venue accused of breaching Covid-19 regulations will be decided this week, when councillors could decide to strip it of its licence.
The premises licence of Bedfords, in Old Post Office Yard in Norwich, will be reviewed by Norwich City Council s licensing committee on Friday (February 10)
According to documents, which councillors will consider at Friday s meeting, a group of customers were dancing in the venue that night, with no social distancing.
The council s public protection officer Richard Divey states in those documents that the reason for the review is the premises licence holder failed to comply with The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) Regulations 2020 by allowing dancing and no social distancing on the evening of November 4, 2020, thus committing an offence .

Galloway seaport freight volumes under scrutiny following expansion of sailings from Ireland to Europe
Daily Record 22/01/2021 Stephen Norris
Freight volumes through Galloway’s main seaport are under close scrutiny following a huge expansion of sailings from Ireland to Europe.
Rosslare, south of Dublin, is billing itself as a better option than the “land bridge” crossing to Cairnryan.
Goods being shipped between the port and Belfast/Larne are now subject to customs checks following the UK’s exit from the EU.
Rosslare sees that as an opportunity and is targeting haulage firms using Cairnryan and Holyhead – including those in Northern Ireland.
More ferries are to sail directly from Ireland to the European mainland in a move to circumvent the traditional trade route over mainland England and Wales.
The British exit from the EU means that trucks passing through Irish ports will now have to undergo unpopular, lengthy and bureaucratic checks, particularly in the areas of agriculture, food and plants.
At Dublin’s port the main entry and exit point for haulage companies moving product to and from Ireland to the European mainland and beyond checks are returning for the first time since 1992 on cargo travelling across the Irish Sea
But 200 kilometres away from the Irish capital, the port in Rosslare is gearing up for major changes to prepare for increased haulage traffic.
