LICENSING conditions have been imposed on an Isle of Wight hotel bar today (Monday) to prevent a repeat of a drink-fuelled street brawl.

Police sought a review of the licence of Holliers Hotel in Shanklin Old Village after the street fights involving more than 40 people in the early hours of December 1.

Police licensing officer Sgt Mark Voller said: "There was a serious outbreak of alcohol-fuelled violence. We are satisfied this was a one-off incident from what has been a well-run establishment."

The Isle of Wight Council regulatory committee left licensing hours intact including the sale of alcohol on Fridays and Saturdays until 2am, but imposed a range of conditions including insistence on appropriate door supervision to be decided by the licensee who should be on the premises.
