The Coves PEL expired on the 30th June, after being valid for only 6 weeks, but charged the full fee. The pub is in the process of applying for a new one.

The period for the public to comment on this application is up or nearly so. There have been the same objections as last time (noise, unconnected with the session), so a Public Hearing, with a panel of councillors will now decide.

This application to extend the outside hours for music also, he rather cleverly refers to, is because of the silly restriction placed on the last one. The one that prevented Morris.

But the PEL has expired and they did not notice until the licensee pointed it out.

The objections are to the new application for the expired PEL. Not for anything that was not applied for previously.

Mr Locke is totally wrong..........You may wish to point this out to him and the local paper letters@dorsetecho.co.uk?

You must remember that Mr Locke is a solicitor. Good try Mr Locke, but he has shot himself in the foot.....Thanks Dave.

Dave or anyone else, PM or Email me at roger.gall@btinternet.com if you are still unsure.

Yes there is mis-information here, It must be pretty clear by now who is providing it too?
