00:06as late as it had originally requested. The Golden Beam will serve drinks until 11pm on
00:12weeknights and half past 12 at weekends, an extra 30 minutes each night. Leeds City Council
00:18received objections citing noise and antisocial behaviour. Wetherspoon said measures would
00:23limit nuisance and numbers. Objectors warned of disruption, health impacts and disturbance
00:29to children while public health officers raised crime concerns.
00:35Councillors agreed a partial licence variation after a hearing at Leeds Civic Hall, following
00:40debate involving councillors, residents and the applicant.
