A new nightclub is lined up for Folkestone but not everyone is pleased. Planning permission has been given for rooms underneath Tiffanys wine bar
in Sandgate Road to be turned into a disco.
The owner of Tiffanys, is not happy with the
idea “I already have a wine bar and a disco upstairs, I don’t want to be
disturbed by the noise of a new club in my basement. They can only open until
midnight under the terms of their planning permission, so it isn’t too bad, but
I have to shut at 11p.m.”
The new club, which will be called The Basement, still has to be given
permission to sell alcohol by Folkestone magistrates.

Plans for a disco on
the Sandgate Road in Folkestone have been rejected. Mr. Arist Aristocleus wanted to open a
nightclub in a basement underneath Tiffany`s wine bar, but Planning and Development
committee members threw out the scheme on Tuesday. Councillors felt opening until two in
the morning was too late in an area of high residential density. But councillor Anthony Deighton said
“The majority of people who go to these discos are law abiding citizens who
cause no trouble. We have got to look
to the youngsters of this town and of Shepway”. The nightclub, which is not connected with Tiffanys, would have had
access at the back of the building, an area with many residential flats. Neighbours of the proposed club had
complained of possible increases in noise and disturbance, an increase in
traffic and a possible reduction in property value.

Police advised a wine bar to take down a window poster
encouraging drinkers to guzzle six bottle of Pils lager between 9 p.m. and
closing time.
Officers told staff at Tiffany`s Wine Bar, in Sandgate
Road, Folkestone, it was not a good thing to advertise drinking large amounts
of alcohol in a short time. Chief Superintendent Keith Shipman said “If
licensees are irresponsible enough to run this type of promotion they will
place their licences at risk”.
The poster was part of a promotion got the strong German
lager.
The curate of Folkestone`s Parish Church, Colin Laxon,
attacked the sign. “It`s blatant irresponsibility”, he said. “If people who
sell alcohol are unable to exercise a degree of responsibility, how can we
expect youngsters to do so?”
The manageress of Tiffany`s, who would not give her name,
brushed aside his criticisms. “I`ve never heard anything so ridiculous in all
my life”, she said. “I thought I would just encourage more people to come and
see a group play in the wine bar. I wouldn`t push the drink down their necks –
I just sell the beer”.
