On Monday night, Hay Town Council discussed the Globe's application for a New Premises License, and heard from Josie Evans, Powys County Council's Licensing Officer. She wasn't there to hear and comment on any objections, but rather to clarify people's understanding of 1)The Licensing process and how the imminent hearing will work, and 2)What considerations are relevant to the decision.
10 or so concerned members of the public contributed to the meeting; no-one from the Globe showed up. The most important information to arise was that if the issues of parking (and road safety) and drunkenness and anti-social behaviour are going to be successfully raised, they have to be brought to the attention of Dyfed-Powys Police's Licensing Officer (complicated, this!), who may then raise their concerns at the hearing. I dare say they should also be alerted to worries about noise.
The upshot: as well as writing to Powys County Council's Licensing Officer, anyone with worries about The Globe's application should also write to Dyfed-Powys Police. The address is:
Nicola Davies, The Licensing Officer, Dyfed-Powys Police, The Police Station, Severn Road, Welshpool, Powys SY21 7AR.
We put round a leaflet about this last night. Letters should reach them by the 19th or 20th of May.
