|John King comments:
If the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill goes through Parliament without amendment, you won't have to live in the vicinity of a premises to object to a live music licence - and in Camden you can now send in objections by text.

Although in practice, the vast majority are objections and it objections that are already being encouraged by the local process - the legislation does not in fact limit submissions from the public to licensing applications, to objections. So it will also be possible for those who do not live in the vincinity to support applications.
