Weeks after the Minns government ditched the last of Sydney’s infamous lockout laws, NSW Police are proposing tougher conditions for The Marlborough Hotel on King Street in Newtown, citing dozens of reports of alcohol-related incidents in the past few years, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
City of Sydney deputy mayor Jess Miller, who lead opposition to the changes with the support of all councillors, said the proposed rules were “worse than the lockouts”.
“This signifies a major step backwards in reviving the 24-hour economy and undermines the work of the City and the state to balance vibrancy and safety in a way that is reasonable,” Miller said.
