Application for extended late licence at the Great Exhibition

[Alan Medic]

That's hardly fair. They would be getting paid to be at work while other interested parties would have to take time off work.

[fredricketts]

SHOULD HAVE IT CLOSER TO HOME.

[billybiro]

If it is such an issue then am sure people will take a couple of hours off work to attend the meeting. And some people don't work do they Fred?

Would you rather the council paid overtime to have it in the evening? I suspect the council are not paying much overtime at the moment.

[billybiro]

And also why not make use of the Councils new multi million pound offices?

[the-e-dealer]

No need for overtime if they are given time off in lieue. Whats the point if the entire working population, the ones who are paying for all this democracy are at work? And I didnt say dont use tooley street.

[billybiro]

Because the council offices,and staff are paid for regardless. Moving the concilliation meeting to ED community centre has alredy cost the tax payer unnecessary money as the venue had to be hired. If anything TGE should foot costs.

[the-e-dealer]

Yeah fine so Tooley Street 6pm no probs but its a total farce escluding most of the flipping tax payers who pay for all this showboat.

[billybiro]

As i said,if its important people will be there. Maybe its a way of weeding out non serious objectors? 'gainfully employed' people take time off work to attend hospital appts,repairmen etc,they dont expect it to be out of working hours! Anyway,back on topic. . .

IT'S A DISGRACE!!!

Only working people that are employed during the day are entitled to an opinion on this.

No representation without taxation.

FFS!!

[the-e-dealer]

Thanks Minty - but I dont see why non workers shouldnt comme along at 6 too!

Yes its a disgrace?! Also its those who have to get up in the morning - for work- the taxpayers who have a big stake in preventing these late opening hours.

[the-e-dealer]

Oh yeah and evening meetings are the staff's contracts. They take time off the next day.

[the-e-dealer]

Well they've divided us and already ruling us.

The application for late opening has been withdrawn.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Have I misunderstood something, or is the current application simply for the gin yard to stay open until 9.30 during the week and 10.30 at weekends?

[Otta]

Why don't one of you who really cares about this (djsenior I'm looking at you) phone the pub, or go in there, and just ask exactly what the current state of play is regarding the application. I am sure the nice people working in there, who are not your enemy, they don't own the place, will happily tell you what they know.

[KalamityKel]

anyone would think the meeting time and place, incidentally where all other such decisions across the borough are made, is planned deliberately to upset ed residents... y should this one application be any different to others eh?

[Bessie1974]

Whatabout perhaps granting these nice people a licence....see how it goes...at least one would have a clear idea of the

noise levels and behaviour of our slightly tipsy but otherwise well mannered community members patronising the place.

If I does become intolerable then I am sure the forum will come very alive, the council will know about it, and somrthing

will be done. after all they are laws regarding loud noise.

[KidKruger]

Perhaps because local people ALREADY know what it's like up to 11.30 + the trollied drinkers passing by on their way home. Experiencing another 3 hours of it may not teach anyone more than they already know.

[DJKillaQueen]

But the extended hours part of the application HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN.

Meanwhile, two residents of Crystal Palace Road, were jailed for smuggling cocaine into the country (as reported by SLP). Perhaps ED isn't quite the utopia some think it should be ;)

[KidKruger]

Oh yeah - forgot about that DJKQ, I'd even pointed this out to someone a couple of days ago !!

Come dealers don't need sleep do they, so they don't count..

[the-e-dealer]

Come dealers ?

[billybiro]

TGE can apply for a a variation in its licence at any time, as many times as it likes, same for TENS so may not be over,just a different tactic. And all those that were glad to see the back of the CPT,& welcome TGE should be careful what they wish for.

[Earl Aelfheah]

This is ridiculous.
