Pendle restaurant closes unexpectedly

VOLUNTARY CLOSURE Barocco’s Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar, in Cuckstool Lane
AN Italian restaurant has closed unexpectedly after having its water supply cut off.
The owners of Barocco’s Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar, in Cuckstool Lane, Fence, were told to cease trading by Pendle Council’s environmental health officers on Friday.
It is understood the water supply was switched off due to unpaid bills.
Stuart Arnott, the borough’s public health manager, confirmed the restaurant had been issued with a Food Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Notice.
He said: “We issued the notice, which takes immediate effect, because the restaurant’s water supply has been cut off.
“The owners have agreed with the closure on a voluntary basis so court action will not be taken.
An extension of a restaurant of the same name in Egerton near Bolton, the Fence establishment opened in the former Forest Inn building more than four years ago.
The original restaurant closed earlier this year, after it was reported in The London Gazette that Campbell Crossley & Davis had been appointed liquidators.
Last year the same firm was brought in at the Fence restaurant.
Yesterday, the Cuckstool Lane eatery remained closed with copies of the Food Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Notice on display on the door and in the windows.
The restaurant’s website was deactivated and attempts to contact its owners were unsuccessful.
Mr Arnott said: “We’re now waiting for confirmation of what their future plans are for the restaurant.”

Water which falls as rain can give one a feeling of refreshment - and for that reason I enjoy walking in rain, even without waterproof attire. Yet the scientific texts tell us that rain is water which has formerly evaporated from rivers, seas, et cetera and so is not new water. There is much technical material to add here if only I was writing for that audience which enjoys it.
Fresh rainwater is new water is it not ?

All water is recycled, there is no more water now than when the planet was created or formed and bottled water is often more biologically active than tap water.

An experiment was carried out in the states on tap water after they annualised it they found cardboard copper zinc and traces of tampax in the recycled tap water.Even though this experiment was done in the states i can say we do use a percentage of recycled waste water so ever since i have only drank bottled water and only used the tap water for washing i can say after 6wks my mood was uplifted i feel hornier and more focused on life and the inside of the kettle looks really clean ever since i stopped using tampon tap water for brew's.
Maybe it a good idea to cut all our water off to improve to health and well being of all of us.
