Members of Epworth Town Council discussed the application.
Councillor Iain Bramble said: "I don't think it needs to be open any longer because there will be chaos with more drinking and, with food places open, there will be more litter."

Councillor Richard Hall added: "It's not suitable for a place as small as Epworth."
Councillor Jonathan Whittaker took the view that the town council should be supporting local businesses but suggested midnight was a more suitable time.
Councillor Roz Whittaker said opening until 2am on a Thursday and Friday would be "asking for trouble".
She said: "Midnight should be the cut-off point for music and drinking."
Councillors voted to object to the application to extend licence times. The final say on the application is with North Lincolnshire Council.
