A pub in the heart of Great Yarmouth could lose its licence amid fears for the safety of vulnerable women.

The alcohol and entertainment licence for the King Street pub Lust, Luck, Liquor and Grinds - also known as Peggotty's - is under review by Great Yarmouth Borough Council.

Grounds for the pub's licence review are based on reports of continued incidents of crime and disorder at the premises.

The report on Great Yarmouth Borough Council's website states there have been "a disproportionately high" number of incidents, including the alleged serving of customers resulting in excessive levels of drunkenness resulting in "concerning" incidents of vulnerability, particularly related to women.

Lust, Luck, Liquor and Grinds' owner has been contacted for comment.

At the beginning of last year, the pub was vocal about working together with other establishments to increase safety in the town centre and seafront at night.

At that time, the owner said they wanted to ensure information is being shared between different venues in the town to minimise risks patrons may face on a night out.

Representations can be made until July 20.
