Trafford’s licensing sub-committee today (Monday March 18) opted to revoke the licence of The Railway Inn on Manchester Road, Altrincham held by Rebecca Ellis following a closure order granted by Manchester Magistrates’ Court on February 21.
Ms Ellis and her father Richard Gerard Ellis are currently on police bail until May 14, pending a decision by the Crown Prosecution Service over whether charges will be brought against them.
Trafford council solicitor James Parry said that the Railway Inn was the subject of a visit by Greater Manchester Police and officers from the council on February 13. “In one of the upper rooms of the premises they discovered a woman who said she was a sex worker who advised the police in a statement captured on body-worn video that she had been trafficked to the premises,” he said.
Ms Ellis and Mr Ellis were arrested in respect of offences connected with the trafficking of sex workers in a brothel.
