JD Wetherspoon Opens New Pubs in Dorset

New pub jobs are to be created in Dorset after JD Wetherspoon was granted permission to open a new venue in Wimborne, reports Caterer.com

The pub chain applied to East Dorset District Council to open a pub on the site of the former Old Conservative Club in West Borough and was given the nod by district planners, the Bournemouth Echo reports.

In addition, the chain's proposals for closing times - 00:30 BST from Sunday to Wednesday and 01:30 from Thursday to Saturday - were also given the green light.

The pub will be allowed to serve late-night refreshments and alcohol until midnight from Sunday to Wednesday and 01:00 from Thursday to Saturday, the newspaper noted.

It comes after plans to build a new venue in the Dorset seaside town of Weymouth were approved, which could create many hotel jobs in the area.

The multi-million pound proposals for the site on Mercery Road include a hotel, an office building, supermarket, petrol station and car park, View Online reports.
