Current License from Magistrate costs £30 and lasts 3 years! So you are right Dave this new Licence costing maybe up to £1000 pa could put a lot of small pubs out of business anyway as it represents a 1000% increase That's even before the poor landlord has to start jumping through crooked hoops to try and facilitate entertainment for his punters by means of a bit of homegrown music or a game of darts!
