Kingston Council does not tolerate any form of illegal trading. Poker clubs like The Pool Bar Private Members Club on Cambridge Road will be found, closed down and their operators prosecuted. We will always take a hard line on any illegal trading and will push for strong penalties, the revoking of licenses and closing down of premises. We hope this prosecution sends a clear message to those in the community who chose to carry out illegal gambling, or any illegal trading, within Kingston.
The venues management, Jamie Kirkpatrick and David Thompson both admitted unauthorised use of the premises and controlling criminal property. Both received cautions but escaped any further punishment.
