Supper Club reopens after police lift closure notice two hours early
The Ipswich venue has reopened after police lifted a temporary closure notice that was imposed following an altercation at the weekend.
The big picture: Suffolk Constabulary superintendent Andrew Martin has authorised the Supper Club in Tacket Street to resume trading two hours before its temporary closure notice was due to expire.
Why it matters: The venue's closure followed an incident in the early hours of Sunday when police were called to deal with reports of an altercation at around 03:40.
Key details: Three men were arrested following the incident:
- A 50-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray and being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs.
- A 41-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray, assault (actual bodily harm) and being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs.
- A 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray.
- All three have been bailed and are due to return to police in November
What's next: Suffolk Constabulary will work with Ipswich Borough Council's Licensing team to investigate the incident further. The new notice states: "The magistrates' court hearing referred to in the original closure notice will not take place, however, this cancellation does not affect other judicial process that may be relevant to these premises."
