A report from this meeting stated: 'The sub committee considered that the serious nature of the alleged incident, coupled with concerns in relation to the significant failures in the effective management of the premises, meant that it was necessary to take interim steps pending the final determination of the review.

'For the prevention of crime and disorder, it was appropriate and necessary to suspend the premises licence for all licensable activities pending the final determination of the review.'GMP's press office told the LDRS that it could not comment on the issue "due to sensitivities of the matters being discussed."The establishment describes itself as a 'family run wine bar, restaurant and function room in the centre of Stockports’ historic underbank.
