A plan to turn a derelict pub in Hull city centre into a 24-hour gambling venue has been approved. Located in Paragon Street, it last traded as the Kingston Tavern and was formerly a Yates’ Wine Lodge.
An application for a gambling license has been submitted to Hull City Council by JR Planning Consultants. It is set to operate seven days a week with gambling machines such as slots and bingo.
No objections were lodged against the plans, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
The plans stated the gambling venue, for over 18s only, would create up to 14 jobs and “help preserve the character” of the Jameson Street Conservation Area.
