New Nightclub for Scilly?

Speculation that a new nightclub is to open on St Mary’s has been quashed by the Council’s Planning Department.

The rumour has been discussed on the forum at website ScillyOnline.co.uk, where one anonymous poster wrote: ‘It’s been leaked from the planning department that plans for a new nighclub are nearly finalised. Its location is not known….. but I can’t wait for an alternative for the disco!!! About time too…!’

A later post read: ‘It is true. It will only be open Friday and Saturday nights but will have a license to serve until 1am.’

But Chief Planning Officer Craig Dryden seemed stunned at the speculation and said he knew nothing about it.

“If any proposal for a nightclub came in, it would be subject to a full public consultation. But I have had no pre-application discussions or inquiries about a proposal for a nightclub,” he said.
