Once the work is complete, the club hopes to have eight full time staff members and four part time members whilst it’s opening hours will be 7am to 11pm Monday to Friday and 7am to 12am on Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays.

In the plans hand drawn drawings, once opened, Stanley Road Working Men’s Club internally will retain the same layout but there will be a new escape from the licensed area, new stairs to a bike storage area, new stairs to the beer cellar and a new double door entrance complete with a new canopy and railings.

According to the planning application form, the work will involve a loss of 47.5 square mertres of internal floorspace for class E(b) which is the sale of food and drink for consumption mostly on the premises.

The work does not involve any changes to car parking spaces, number of trees or biodiversity levels.
