i)Application for a variation to the current licence to put back the sale of alcohol (£100 to vary and then £70 for annual renewal in Nov) has been submitted to NNDC.
ii)Advertising variation to the license:
(1)notices at Village Hall (obligatory) and on Parish Council notice boards,
(2)Advert in the EDP would cost £191, or in the Fakenham and Wells £90 (or possibly £64.93). However the best option: leaflet advertisement inserted in the April edition of the Fakenham and District Sun delivered to most of Walsingham (although not all of Great Walsingham is covered).This would cost £10 plus VAT.
iii)Decision by NNDC to be made by 19 May 2015. If no decision received by that date assume it is granted because tacit consent applies.
