Snooker plan given nod after sport deemed 'quiet enough'

A former social club in Preston is to be turned into a snooker hall after planners ruled the sport was sufficiently quiet for the residential street where it will now be played.

Preston City Council has given the green light to the green baize conversion of the building that previously operated as Fishwick Ramblers Working Men's Club, on Mornington Road.

A single-storey extension will be added to the rear of the two-floor structure in order to accommodate the snooker tables that will now become its main attraction.

The venue will open seven days a week from 10am until midnight.
