THE future of one of Gravesend’s most popular nightspots is in jeopardy after being called into question by the area’s most senior ranking police officer.

A list of damning allegations against H2O has been issued by North Kent Police’s area commander who has called for the High Street club’s licence to be reviewed.

Gravesham Borough Council is now tasked with considering whether the complaints are substantial enough to close the club.

Area commander Paul Brandon’s accusations against the club include:

Allowing under 18s entry and alcohol

Serving drinks to drunken people

Allowing entry after 3am

Failing to comply with CCTV regulations

Not keeping records of crime and disorder incidents

A spokesman for H2O said: “

A spokesman for Gravesham council said the application is due to go before the licence committe early in January.

Only five weeks ago, the manager of the Trocadero in Windmill Street agreed to leave and the pub closed following similar police intervention.

A spat of rowdy behaviour led to 15 complaints in just seven weeks, and a meeting was convened between GBC, police and owners Swan Inns.

The list of police logs included six reports of a disturbance, four assaults, an altercation, theft and robbery.

The pub has since re-opened with a new temporary manager.

Kent Trading Standards also announced this week that it intends to seek a licence review of Valley Wine and Groceries in Valley Drive after it allegedly sold booze to a 15-year-old volunteer during a test purchase.
