Star Inn The Harbour closure: Council defends record after being criticised over support

Restaurateur Andrew Pern blamed the borough council for the closure of the restaurant

Coun Alf Abbott said: “We’ve lost 30 good jobs with The Star closing and there has been a lot of publicity with The Star blaming this council for not supporting them. Can the portfolio holder assure us, that they were supported and can you give us some insight on the support that we have given them?”

She said: “I would like to emphasise that this council has worked collaboratively with them on the issue of rent, obviously I won’t talk about that in a public meeting. But we have really negotiated with them on rent and done everything that is within our power, given that we cannot give them rent-free because we are a landlord for lots of other properties as well.
