SWG3 faces licence review by Glasgow Council after three teenagers die in separate incidents at nightclub STV News

A venue in Glasgow is facing a licence review following the separate deaths of three teenagers after they attended events at the nightclub.

A licensing board committee at Glasgow City Council is expected to be attended by representatives for Eastvale Place’s SWG3 on Friday.

It is understood that the hearing was called after a complaint was made by Police Scotland.

On New Year’s Eve, an 18-year-old woman died after she became unwell at a rave in the popular venue.

She was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital by ambulance but later died.

Just four months earlier Scott Allison and Marcus Dick, who were both 18, passed away in separate incidents after DJ Ben Hemsley’s set at SWG3’s Galvanisers Yard in August.

Options available to the board include suspending or revoking the premises licence, making a variation to the licence conditions or issuing a written warning.

A spokesman for Glasgow Licensing Board said: “An application to review the licence of these premises has been received and will be considered by the board.

“The outcome of the review will be determined by the individual merits of the submissions made before the board and within the context of existing licensing law.”

SWG3 has been contacted for comment.
