Door staff at a nightclub which was investigated over safety concerns must use an ID scanner for people who look under 30 and have at least five members of staff wear a body warn camera.

Kent Police had called for the review following several serious incidents at the Casino Rooms in Rochester.

Today, Medway Council's licensing hearing panel decided that a minimum of five door supervisors will be required to wear body worn cameras, with recordings being kept for at least 31 days.

Police officers had asked if all of the door staff could wear the devices but councillors "felt that given the intrusive nature of the cameras it would not be proportionate for them to be worn by all staff."

The recordings will have to be made available to the police or the local authority should they request it.

Furthermore, councillors decided anyone under the age of 30 should be asked to scan their ID on a scanning machine - something which had already been introduced on a trial basis at the Blue Boar Lane venue.

During last week's meeting, the police asked whether the club's door staff could patrol the Blue Boar Lane car park around closing time, after a spate of fights in which knives were later recovered.

It was decided two security staff will be deployed to the car park 30 minutes before closing.

In previous hearings, the panel heard how a man suffered life-changing injuries after staff failed to help him when he broke his leg in the club.

The man was then helped by onlookers outside the club and an ambulance came to his assistance.

However, the ambulance was not called by the venue; a club goer inside the toilets had phone for one after believing they were having a heart attack.

Police had also created a dossier of 11 incidents which included multiple fights recorded in the car park opposite the club.

There were also alleged incidents in which under-age children who had gone missing visited the gentlemen's club in the building, and another in which a man who was ejected from the club was punched to the ground by two different door staff.

Licensing officer PC Dan Hun previously told councillors the force was not seeking to revoke the licence, rather, to impose new conditions on it so they could make the venue safer.

These were the introduction of an ID scanner at the door, having door staff patrol the Blue Boar Lane car park, and having them all wear body-worn cameras during their shift.

While the club has agreed to put an ID scanner in place and has already done so on a trial basis, its barrister, Leo Charalambides, argued scanning everyone's IDs would be inappropriate, saying they would prefer to scan everyone who looked under the age of 30.

He also argued police should lay on more patrols at the car park if they wanted to prevent incidents happening there.

The biggest point of contention was the introduction of body-worn cameras; Mr Charalambides said he thought these, along with the ID scanner, would amount to a "blanket surveillance culture", calling the measures "draconian".

Additionally, he argued there was no way of knowing whether the people taking part in the fights in the car park were club goers or if they had been elsewhere.
