redrobbo Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hi there theimposter. The Licensing section at the Town Hall has just processed over 2,000 applications under the new Licensing Act 2003, including hearing over 120 objections to licensed premises. Now that the bulk of the licensing process has been completed, a comprehensive list is being prepared of all licensed premises, including the precise conditions attached to each licensed establishment. This is no small task, and when completed, will be available via a link on the council website. As a member of the Licensing Board, I will be notified when this work in hand has been completed - but we are some way off completion of this mammoth task at the moment.

Jess22 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I think once the licenses are granted, any pub can, but it's up to individual landlords if and when they do so. Whether they want to stay up all night!!! Don't know of any that have said they are going to yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valentine Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I read a report in one of todays papers that no pubs in england have applied for the full 24 hours, most are just going for a couple of hours.

No, they have to apply for specific licenses, no venues in Sheffield have yet applied for a 24 hr license (according to RedRobbo I think). Can't say for the rest of the county.

valentine Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 EXCLUSIVE: NO PUBS WANT 24-HOUR LICENSE Pubs aim for longer opening hours.. but NONE to serve booze for 24hrs By Greig Box And Oonagh Blackman, Political Editor NOT one pub in the UK will serve alcohol around the clock when 24-hour licensing laws start this month. Most publicans have opted to keep serving for an extra hour or two at night and open early for the breakfast trade. Some 80,000 pubs, clubs, hotels and shops - 40 per cent of the total - have applied for longer hours. Half the applications have been opposed by residents and police amid alarm at binge-drinking. Today, Cabinet ministers will launch a £150,000 advertising campaign warning of a crackdown on drunken yobs. Home Secretary Charles Clarke and Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell will unveil police powers to shut rowdy pubs and punish shops which sell to underage drinkers. Advertisement But industry experts said the Mirror findings prove that fears the new laws will fuel binge-drinking are unfounded. The Government confirmed that only about 160 pubs, 75 clubs and 110 hotels have been given the go-ahead to open 24 hours a day. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport said: "It is highly unlikely a single drinking establishment will be open 24 hours. It is not economically viable." With nine days to go until the new laws come into effect, pub operators said they have no desire to stay open around the clock. Mark Jones, chief executive of the Yates Group, said: "We won't apply for any licence that extends opening to 24 hours." The first pub granted a 24-hour licence, The Swan Tavern in London's financial district, will use the extended time on special occasions, such as the Budget and major sporting events. Landlord Adam Pattinson said: "We will probably only use it a handful of times in a year." In Manchester, the first establishment granted a 24-hour drinking licence was... an arty cinema. Cornerhouse manager Shelley Brown said: "We may open until midnight to let people who see a late film have a drink afterwards." David Sheen, of the British Beer and Pub Association, said it estimated only 20 pubs have 24-hour licences and "we don't know of a single pub in the country that will be open for 24 hours a day. "Most are opting for modest increases in opening hours." The association's chief executive Rob Hayward said: "Every New Year's Eve for the last three years flexible hours have been tried and tested. The result has been less disorder and fewer problems than on the average Friday night." Daniel Pearce, of trade magazine The Publican, said: "This belies the whole hysteria about 24-hour drinking and violence. "Contrary to popular belief, this will dilute the potential for trouble simply because people will leave pubs at different times."
