| According to the Honslow Chronicle this pub has now had its opening hours reduced to 11.30 pm Fri, Sat and 11 pm weekdays. This is to try and appease the neighbours who have borne the brunt of many a late night brawl in the streets, to put it mildly. mim - 11 Mar 2010 15:30 |
| It sounds as though this pub can only get better. It is NEVER a good thing for a pub to close for ever. mim - 6 Oct 2009 12:55 |
| Horrible pub. Visited after football and it was dead. Bar staff looked surprised to see punters and the place has the feel of a pub about to close. Avoid at all costs. kevmac - 20 Sep 2009 19:14 |
| Hounslow Chronicle: BRAWL IS LAST STRAW FOR POLICE Sep 10 2009 By Jessica Thomas IS THIS the worst pub in the Hounslow? That is the question many are asking as The Albany Arms owner's licence comes up for review, following years of police warnings over fights, strippers, serving children and drugs. The future of the notorious pub in Albany Road, Brentford, is to come under review by the council's licensing panel after a mass pub brawl involving knives proved to be the 'straw that broke the camel's back' for police. Inspector Steve Edwards from Hounslow Police said: "We have had a whole host of problems at the pub for a while now, but it came to a head in June when we had two huge fights and an incident with unlicensed strippers and doormen." On June 20, a fight broke out between about 15 people and on June 21, another larger fight ensued, involving most of the pub, resulting in assaults and a knife being recovered. "The straw that broke the camel's back," said Mr Edwards, "was when the licensing officers turned up and there were strippers working there which they don't have a licence for. "They also discovered unlicensed door staff and three people were arrested for being unauthorised to sell alcohol." The police have also received numerous complaints about people dealing and taking drugs on the premises, which is owned by Enterprise Inns. Action is also being taken against them for noise pollution. "We have tried to intervene and speak to the manager first," said Mr Edwards. "But they have continued to blatantly disregard the licensing laws, so we said enough was enough." In a report to Hounslow Council, licensing officer PC Cornock said: "These premises have a history of incidents that have undermined the licensing objectives. Police and other responsible authorities have received a catalogue of complaints that have included noise complaints, assaults, fighting, disturbances, residents being threatened, drunkenness, theft and kindred offences, firearms, including the discharge of firearms, offensive weapons, criminal damage, drugs and breaching of the licensing act 2003, youths on the premises, youths being supplied both alcohol and drugs on the premises, and breaches of the private security act 2001." The report is due to come before the council's licensing panel on October 5. They have the power to remove the manager, suspend the licence for up to three months or to revoke it altogether. mim - 14 Sep 2009 12:27 |
