Legal Action Over Outdoor Smoke

From The Publican

A licensee is facing legal action for letting smoke drift into his neighbour’s garden.

In what is believed to be the first episode of its kind, Jeff Castledine, licensee of the Queens Head in Boreham, Chelmsford, has received a letter from Chelmsford Borough Council following a complaint about “nuisance caused by odour from cigarette smoke”.

The answer is, of course, for the landlord to let them smoke in the pub. Except that then, the council will be down on him like a ton of bricks.
