When Paddy Power opened in the former East House pub, concerns were raised by many residents. However, the tenancy of Paddy Power has been short lived. In that time there has been an observed rise in anti-social behaviour around the area, which culminated in a drugs raid on 17th March when four men were arrested. This was shortly after followed by a burglary on the premises, the aftermath of which was described by one resident as “a confetti of betting slips” all over Spital Hill. Paddy Power have now vacated the premises and the East House pub is once again vacant.
