Count Cash Amusements has withdrawn its application to Darlington Borough Council for a gaming permit for the Take-a-Break Caf on Cockerton Green.

The company took the decision after it was refused planning permission to change the use of the premises from a caf to an amusement arcade. The company intends to appeal against the decision.
