Fenland s environmental health team have been accused of using a sledge hammer to crack a nut during a five hour hearing into alleged breaches of covid rules at a Wisbech pub.
The review hearing called by Fenland District Council s environmental health department into the allegations against publican and Wisbech mayor Aigars Balsevics at his Angel Inn premises lasted for over five and a half hours today (Monday).
The hearing went ahead despite a plea by David Dadds, the legal representative for Mr Balsevics and pub owners Elgood s Brewery, for a four week adjournment to give them time to call witnesses and properly analyse CCTV evidence and also called for it to be heard privately.
