The licensing sub-committee revealed that the owner of Q Vibes, Janeth Wright, operated without informing authorities of a prior company's dissolution, leading to objections from police and the council.
PC Derek Ewart highlighted that three criminal incidents connected to Q Vibes involved serious allegations, including an assault and reported sex trafficking, raising concerns about safety at the venue.
Cllr Adam Small questioned the police's view on Q Vibes as a hotspot for crime, prompting discussions about responsibilities of the venue owner in preventing such incidents.
PC Ewart noted that unlike other venues under his supervision, Q Vibes consistently drew negative attention, leading to implications that the owner had neglected crime reporting.
