Hide AdCouncillor Amanda Morris, Chair of the Licensing Committee, said: "It is nearly five years since our last licensing consultation, so I am pleased to give people an opportunity to provide their views again on this important subject.
“We are taking into consideration how we can best protect residents’ interests, prevent public nuisance, combat crime and disorder while at the same time, helping our licensed premises to operate safely and supporting the town’s thriving night-time economy.”
The consultation runs until Monday, March 4.
