The following from John King:

Dacorum Council successfully prosecute a publican who left his windows open while a jazz band were performing.

Councillor Colette Wyatt-Lowe, Portfolio Holder for Residents and Regulatory Services, said: "In the interests of the public, the Council will not hesitate to take action against licensees who flout their Premises Licence conditions."

This is the type of B/S that Councillors seem only too willing to be spokesperson for. In practice and because of the sort of detail now being placed in licensing conditions - I doubt if there are any premises who are not in breach of their licensing conditions.
