A nightclub has had its licence reinstated after it was suspended following a police drugs raid.

The Source Bar, in Rose Yard, Maidstone, will stay closed for at least three weeks and will have to reopen under new management.

Maidstone council's licensing committee took a full day to hear evidence about the bar's closure and decide whether it could reopen.

The club's licence was suspended after more than 40 police officers raided the bar at about 11.30pm on Tuesday, July 7. An illegal substance, believed to be cocaine, was found and six people were arrested.

One was cautioned and the other five were bailed until September.
