Following the death of Paul Wallington, after being hit by a doorman outside the Vine Bar in Brentwood on Christmas Eve 2018, under the licence of Mr Artemi, we feel to reopen this bar would cause a grieving family & friends huge emotional distress!

The bar before Paul’s incident was constantly having police called for fighting/drugs etc & the door staff were renowned for being rude & obnoxious to anyone entering this premise. Therefore we object to the relicensing going ahead. Paul’s death has ripped a family apart & NOBODY should have to go through what they are as a family. It’s nearly the anniversary of the incident, what a kick in the teeth this would be. Brentwood borough council needs to review this decision URGENTLY
