Anti smoking ban landlord given appeal date

Anti smoking ban landlord given appeal date
FORMER Bolton landlord Nick Hogan has been given an appeal date where he will challenge his conviction for allowing customers to smoke.

The rebel publican, who was the licensee of The Swan and Barristers in Bradshawgate, appeared at Bolton Crown Court yesterday.

His appeal will be held on July 23.

advertisementMr Hogan, who now runs The Swan With Two Necks in Chorley, said: "I'm very confident about the appeal. I have three months to prepare and am sure this conviction will be overturned."

He was found guilty of four charges of failing to prevent people from smoking in his pubs following a trial at Bolton Magistrates' Court in January.

He was fined £3,000 - £750 for each conviction - and ordered to pay £7,121 in costs, plus a £15 victim surcharge.
