- JD Wetherspoon has applied to amend the Golden Beam's license to allow Otley Run participants entry.
- Currently, a license condition bans admitting people involved in the popular weekend pub crawl attracting thousands.
- Temporary permission was granted for five events in September and October, during which measures controlled queues and behavior.
- The proposed change includes trained staff and CCTV to reduce antisocial conduct, with local residents invited to comment.
It is hoped that allowing well-behaved Otley Run participants to use the Golden Beam facilities will improve, rather than detract from, anti-social behaviour in the area.— A spokesperson from Wetherspoon commented on the potential impact of the license variation.
