PLASTIC glasses will have to stay on the menu at Brighton’s newest seafront venue, the Shelter Hall. The operators asked to vary the conditions of their licence so that they could use real glass instead of polycarbonates in the outdoor seating areas. But Sessions Market, which runs the venue, in King’s Road Arches, failed to persuade a Brighton and Hove City Council licensing panel. In 17 weeks of trading last year, the company said that it threw away more than a thousand plastic glasses. The company’s solicitor, Jack Spiegler, told the licensing panel hearing last month that throwing away so much plastic did not “sit well” with Shelter Hall’s management.
