* CCTV must be installed and maintained to Merseyside Police’s excepted standard.

* The premises must join pub watch.

* A licence holder must be present when the bar is open.

* Within 42 days a metal detector arch must be installed and used after 10pm to prevent weapons entering the venue.

* Hand held metal detectors must be used until this date.
