Pub Shut After Baton Attack Seeks License Return
10 Jan
Summary
- Pub's license revoked due to a violent baton attack.
- Three customers sustained head injuries in the incident.
- New license application filed by Balbinder Singh.
A pub in West Bromwich is making efforts to regain its operating license after it was revoked due to a serious incident. The Prince of Wales, located on West Bromwich High Street, had its license suspended last month following a "horrifying" baton attack that occurred in November. This violent event resulted in three customers sustaining head injuries, as confirmed by West Midlands Police.
Rajinder Singh, the owner of the pub for over two decades, is now seeing a new license application submitted by Balbinder Singh. This move signifies a push to resume operations at the establishment. The pub has garnered support from the West Bromwich Business Improvement District (BID) group.
The BID group has described the Prince of Wales as a "responsible pub" and a "big part of the West Bromwich community." Their endorsement suggests a belief in the pub's potential to operate safely and continue contributing positively to the local area, despite the past incident.
