An investigation has started into whether a North Somerset Councillor and Magistrate was summoned to appear as a witness in court or not.

An arrest warrant was issued for Tim Marter this week after he didn't turn up for the trial about alleged licensing breaches at Dragon Kiss bar on Regent Street- but he says he wasn't notified! 

It was later rescinded after Mister Marter was told again and did appear this week.

Cam Mu and wife Que of Brean Down Avenue - and his business Mu Mu Enterprises - deny 39 charges including selling alcohol outside licensed hours and failing to prevent smoking in smoke-free premises - and the trial's been adjourned until June the first.
