A fine dining restaurant on 5 Guildhall Street, seeks approval for a premises license to serve alcohol.

A meeting will be held before the Licensing Sub-Committee on Friday 3 March, to consider an application for the grant of a premises licence, in light of the representations made by Lancashire Constabulary.

MRT Licensing Services, representing the restaurant Twist which serves contemporary European dishes, submitted the plans on Friday 6 January.

The application is for a licence to authorise the retail sale of alcohol (on and off the premises), from 12pm to 10.30pm, 7 days a week.
