Residents have objected against a new premises licence for a social club in central Watford.

Watford Ex-Service and Social Club, in St Albans Road, operated a licence for a number of years but this application is for a new building the club now occupies.

Three residents and one residents' association originally objected to the proposal. However, two parties withdrew their comments following a mediation between them and the club.

Two objections remain, however, due to crime and disorder and public nuisance, and the application will now be subject to a hearing of Watford Borough Council's sub-licensing committee tomorrow (Tuesday).
