Roxy Ball Room, a place to book games such as bowling, pool and ping pong, has venues in Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester and will soon be opening at Stonebow House in York.

At a licensing hearing at the City of York Council offices on September 11 concerns were raised by members of the public about staff training, noise and bins being left out attracting pests.

However, fears were addressed by the managing company Roxy Leisure’s representatives, CEO Matt Jones and managing director Ben Warren, and a set of conditions were put in place in an attempt to satisfy all parties.

The application was approved with conditions including a 400-person maximum capacity, bottle and glass collecting only between 8am and 8pm and to circulate the details of the duty manager and area manager to nearby residents every six months.

Roxy Leisure was asked to keep up its level of engagement with residents.
