The Teen Elk event in November 2021 was also linked to more than 170 positive coronavirus cases, resulting in over 800 individuals being identified as close contacts
The owner and general manager of The Elk venue have been fined for breaches of health and safety and entertainment licensing legislation.
Council officers had contacted the organisers in advance of the event and sought copies of the event management plan for the event, and been assured that the necessary measures were in place. The licence conditions imposed by the Council required a minimum of 51 security staff to supervise the event, whereas only 14 staff and six “floating stewards” were on duty at the event.
The District Judge commented that there was a lack of knowledge regarding the conditions of the Entertainment Licence and that the premises had been “atrociously managed.” The Judge stated that business must ensure the proper people are qualified and should engage consultants to ensure matters are complied with.
