We get a Whit Monday here, which is nice enough in this season of a day or two off every couple of weeks until about August, but you lot also get FRIDAY?Erlangernickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564871714656285737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-78413047213486765232010-05-10T21:21:53.926+01:002010-05-10T21:21:53.926+01:00I agree, but not my business to do so Nev.

If your landlady normally opens her pub during the afternoon, then that opening is part of her permitted hours, and just because there is an event (hardly a riotous assembly) taking place in the village, then the local authority have no right to unilaterally impose onerous conditions on her normal lawful activities, or indeed tell her how to run her business.<br /><br />This really is an appalling example of local democracy doing the exact opposite of what it is intended to do, and I hope that if this ludicrous decision is upheld, local businesses will put in a full claim against the council for loss of earnings.Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-87960283870907627962010-05-10T20:57:37.024+01:002010-05-10T20:57:37.024+01:00I'm no expert, but I think it's distinctly...I'm no expert, but I think it's distinctly possible that the council is exceeding its authority.

Supposedly the licensing act 2003 was to make it easier for licensees to do things. However, since the councils are now in charge, rather than magistrates, they able to put whatever silly arse covering rules in place they like.<br /><br />This is a classic case of if it ain't broke fix it till it is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319272987951077205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-81353807252419229352010-05-10T17:47:03.993+01:002010-05-10T17:47:03.993+01:00How many times do these people provide evidence th...How many times do these people provide evidence that they've got all caught up with the 'Authority' bit at the expense of the 'Local'?; usually aided and abetted by the local Police Authority, who seem to like wearing riot gear and locking down areas than engaging in crime prevention - better overtime, dont'cha know?Sid Bogglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452473947039475736noreply@blogger.com
