I have downloaded the PDFs and will be composing a full response- including comments on the seriously biased form of the consultation. I shall then be returning it through the more direct access to politicians that my family connections allow me- hopefully adding a few influential signatures on the way. To sum up my views in one simple paragraph, I shall be arguing that noise and anti-social behaviour issues are fully covered by existing legislation, and that the whole licensing regime under the 2003 Act is a waste of public money and should be scrapped completely in an era of budgetary constraint. I am entirely in agreement with Guest The Shambles in this. Cheers Dave
