GMP have now submitted a request for the premises’ licence to be reviewed by Trafford council on public safety grounds.
Submitting evidence for the review, Police Constable Karen Packer said: “I have provided a list of incidents recorded against Astoria that mainly relate to incidents of violence. Each incident has been thoroughly scrutinised to identify the link between the incident and the premises or directly outside and in the vicinity.
“I have 24 years’ service working in the Trafford district working in various roles during my career one of which was as an operational response officer where I became familiar with the issues caused by licensed premises on the district and the locations where demand was high.
“As a response officer, one area of the district I found myself being directed to in the evenings midweek and the early hours of a weekend was to respond to fighting or large scale disturbances at a licensed premises named Chadwick’s [now Astoria].”
