Hide AdDr Sakthi Karunanithi, director of public health for Lancashire County Council, said: "Following detailed consideration it has been decided to revoke this Direction and replace it with a Direction containing conditions to ensure that this public house operates in a Covid secure way.
"We take public health concerns extremely seriously and will not hesitate to take action where breaches of social distancing have occurred.
"It is more important than ever that we work together to stop the spread of this virus.
"The majority of our pubs and restaurants do act responsibly and I would urge every business to play their part to protect our communities by strictly following COVID safe guidance."
