@SJ... Nope ... This is how the opening post reads, as at 0700, Saturday 9th March. The Coop has applied to extend it current alcohol license and apply for a new one to enable it to open 24/7. This is possible under the Licencesing Act 2003. This seems like a bad idea. It's one thing having a small corner shop open 24/7 which is likely ot just serve locals and the odd passing trade. We fear the Coop being open 24/7 will become a night time destination and have formally objected. But what do you think? If you think it's a good or bad idea please do tell council officials before the 27 March deadline. Email Licensing@southwark.gov.uk and cope me james.barber@southwark.gov.uk We don't want such a potentially big decision affecting East Dulwich Night Time Economy to be taken without as much local input as possible. Sounds pretty unambiguous to me and a misreading of the application, whether deliberate or not. I've edited my post above because, with hindsight, it was perhaps a tad cruel. So I'll stick to the main point. Seems to me JB has - deliberately or otherwise - misrepresented the application. As to whether JB works "a lot more" than I do, as you're willing to "bet" (FFS), then perhaps he needs to work "a lot more" on how he presents this (and other issues on which he evidently has a personal position) to the East Dulwich Forum.
