COMPLAINTS from residents led councillors to refuse a public entertainment licence for the Elton View Hotel in Bury.
More than 30 people living near the Eagley Drive pub objected to the application, citing noise and anti-social behaviour by drinkers.
The council's own environmental health division also objected, saying there had been numerous complaints over the years about amplified music in the function room and disturbances from customers leaving the premises.
Councillors at a meeting of the licensing panel voted unanimously to turn down the request. However, they have invited the hotel's new landlord to submit another application in a few months.
