I hope it won't end up as a case of "and the Punch and Judy man is gone forever".

I expect that LAs (like Greenwich) will still interpret tha rules to make as much cash as possible.

What will happen where there are existing PELs in place - will they still have to carry on paying at the current exhorbitant rates ? It seems to me that if they "Tick the Box" when they apply for their first license under the new scheme, they should get the entainment provision for free, or will LAs be able to insist on new restrictions/inspections for premises that they were willing to grant a license to under the old provisions when they were asking for lotsa money ?
