LICENSING ARRGGGGGGHHH

[puds]

Hi There,

My local County Council has decided to stick to the 21 day licencing rule (even though coming from my area in Wales they only do under 10 a year my Ds being 3 of those)
Basically the education officer told me it wasn't his job as he doesn't have a desk job so why should he do it, Mmmmmm)

I know that the whole licencing process is under review, but why don't all Councils use their discretion (like some of the sensible ones) and encourage opportunity- we are living in difficult times at the moment and I find this attitude so frustrating - the Council in the next County will do them the same day

I am going to write a letter to them today and was just wondering any tips or pointers I should include!

Oh dear what a pain ! Why is it on a Saturday you have decided to have a rant, did something happen yesterday ? Get writting my dear and perhaps they will sit up and smell the coffee! Do they realise they are hindering the future of a BIG STAR !!

Write to your local councillor - they are elected to represent you - or why not go to see them at their regular surgery? I'm sure they'd take an interest, especially if they are in a marginal seat.

Flo got a license from our LEA in less than 48 hours this week. The 'delay' was because the production company mis-directed an email. So the 'applied time' to create a license must be measurable in hours, which makes an 'elapsed time' of 21 days utter nonsense.

Good luck!

We also got a super quick licence this week, got confirmation of job Wednesday evening, licence forms sent, forgot to attach drs letter, council requested that on Thursday and I got our copy of the licence in the post today! We love you ERYCC.
