Hinckley Bar Closes Due to Health Hazard

0:00Icon's bar in Hinkley just shut his doors for good after major building problems turned into a serious health hazard. The spot in new buildings closed last Saturday, April 11th, because of ongoing issues with the property above it. The main trouble came from blocked pipes up in the flats overhead, sending toilet water leaking through the ceiling, and walls right into the bar area. Licency Paul Buchen said it got so bad they had no choice but to walk away. Buchen shared that when they first took over, the place was a mess with builders dust everywhere, needing weeks of cleanup. Still, they pulled off six solid months of live music and good times, and he thanked everyone for the support. All that while paying the full 2,000 pounds rent each month, even during closures. He couldn't reach the landlords during emergencies, and despite reaching out, they haven't commented. It was a tough call, but safety came first. Now the bar might sit empty for a while, leaving behind those memories, but marking the end of a short run in Hinkley. That wraps Lester News today brought to you with AI.
