Thread Name: Licensing Bill - How will it work ?
Subject: RE: Licensing Bill - How will it work ?
Hmmm ! Slight drift, but this reverts back to other problems, mentioned in other threads -

Monday following yet another seroius assult and disorder in a bar in the centre of Pontypridd the local Plodds acted and closed it - Or so the "Echo" said.

Tuesday The owners appealed to the High Court. Result ????
Bar stays open - Untill a full hearing at a date to be advised but no earlier than July.

Now good people - Pray tell us why reform was not needed ?? The Plodds acted under existing legislation, 'cos the NEW ACT ain't enforcable yet, and as I said in an earlier thread, can not be used properly.

I appreciate that yer average Folk Sesion don't put a man on a life support machine, and I have no doubt the PEL strictures are over kill, but .......

Personally Public Health can deal with these matters more efficiently.
