Police took Heff's Hotel publican Stephen Clark and the company that owned the hotel, PC Bar Ltd, to the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority (ARLA) late last month.

This came after concerns over intoxicated patrons, lack of menu items and previous indiscretions including a gang wake leading to a brawl, and opening on Christmas Day, meant ARLA cancelled the bar's licence on July 31, and Clark's manager's certificate "with immediate effect".

Up to a dozen kids have used a popular neighbourhood tree house in their games of "war". But now a larger battle is unfolding as the Mosgiel property owners take on the Dunedin City Council (DCC), which has ordered its removal.
