Representations
The Assistant Director Waste, Fleet and Transport Services presented Document “X” which outlined an application for a new Club Premises Certificate for the sale of alcohol, noting also that twelve letters of objection had been received .
The Club Secretary and President then made a presentation in support of the application, explaining that the club had been developed to a stage where it now had three senior teams and that the application was intended to aid further development. They stated that they had no intention of letting the club as a venue for private functions and that they could operate within fewer hours than those applied for.

It was suggested by the club representatives that the hours of operation in the winter could finish even earlier at 2300.
An objector then spoke on behalf of the local residents present at the hearing, explaining that their main objection was to the hours being applied for, which they considered to be far too long. They also considered ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
