John King comments:
Police opposed to live music at a cafe in Bath. Inspector Steve Mildren said "The variation application is to extend the hours that the premises operate and to add live music to this, the police feel, adds a dimension that is very different from the high quality coffee house that was portrayed"

The premises already has permission for a DJ. Do the police have any justification for deciding that a coffee house would not be 'high quality' if it had live instead of recorded music? This is hardly 'high quality' police work.
