Have the new owners recieved aid packages?

Didn't you read the second paragraph above? It's a package open to business in the areas which can demonstrate they are at a distinct disadvantage or are seriously at risk from increased or new competition. Take my word for it (and I'm sure Chris W can back me up on this) that Wind Street is FULL of bars - every other building is a pub or club, there must be at least 30 of them on a road just over a quarter of a mile long. All are 'smoking' bars - The Lounge had trouble keeping up with them. Bear in mind that it did not start up as a non-smoking pub.
