A review of the licence for Medway's largest nightclub has been postponed to give the owners more time to respond to information from the police.

Police asked for the Casino Rooms to have its licence reviewed due to "high levels of crime" with the meeting due to take place at the Brook Theatre, Chatham this morning.

Last week police added an additional document to the agenda listing 58 offences - 31 involving violence - that had taken place at the nightclub in central Rochester in just six months.

After the review committee assembled at 9.30am today, it was announced that the matter was being deferred at the request of the licencee to give them time to respond to the extra information from the police.

Officers say other incidents which happened in the area were also highly likely to be linked to the night spot in Blue Boar Lane.

PC Christopher Hill, who works for the licencing department at Medway Police Station in Gillingham, applied for the review.

In the report published last week he said despite an ongoing partnership between the management at the club and officers, an agreement on what to do to bring levels of crime down has not been reached.

He went on to state that the venue has failed to promote the licensing Act 2003, in particular, those of public safety.

A total of 94 crime reports were generated there in 2015 and over the six month period, there were 39 offences recorded. These include three grievous bodily harm offences, 13 actual bodily harm offences, one affray and 18 theft offences.

Following the increase in crime at the site, police asked for a meeting with the management of the club and met with its owner, Aaron Stone and operations manager Ross Hutchins, to suggest changes to the premises licence to reduce the risk of incidents and implement crime prevention measures.

Further meetings took place and police wanted to see a list of eight conditions implemented, including better CCTV coverage and training for staff who sell alcohol. However, two conditions could not be agreed upon, hence why officers requested the review.

The review will now take place on Tuesday, July 19 at Gun Wharf.
