Alresford bar continues to lose money
THE Arlebury Park bar continues to lose money, Alresford Town Council heard.
It made £60,457 over the bar between April 1 and December 31, but staffing costs of £33,292 helped it make a loss of £8,991.
The town council runs the building and its finance chairman Roy Gentry said prices of drinks would soon be lowered to try to boost profits.
"The problem is that we are not getting the footfall through the bar," said Mr Gentry.
Former town councillor and accountant Robin Atkins said staffing costs were far too high.
