00:00A Wetherspoons pub in Headingley on the Otley Run route is potentially looking to reverse
00:06restrictions on letting pub crawl drinkers into the venue.
00:11The licence restrictions for the Golden Beam were to ensure that the pub was food-led and
00:15had more seated drinking rather than standing, but a spokesman has said it's having to
00:20turn away a large number of people which could be better accommodated in the pub as it is
00:26a large venue with CCTV and extensive toilet facilities.
00:31At a recent meeting, local residents raised concerns about having an additional pub on
00:36the Otley Run as they felt it may exacerbate anti-social issues connected to the crawl,
00:42with some pub users concerned that the community feel of the venue may be lost.
00:47A Headingley and Hyde Park councillor said Wetherspoons are due to discuss the options
00:51and the meeting was left quite open-ended.
00:54The request to change the licence has not yet been formally submitted.
