Tesco on Bathwick Hill have applied to extend their alcohol licence to allow the store to sell drink between 6am and midnight.Currently the stores closes at 9pm, when their existing licence stops.

People who live within the vicinity of the store may make representations before 30 December 2014. They must complete a form and post or email it to licencing@bathnes.gov.uk. Representations should cover any of the four licencing objectives:

• the prevention of crime and disorder,
• public safety,
• prevention of public nuisance,
• the protection of children from harm.

Some will remember that Tesco’s original licence application in 2008 was for later hours, which Cllr Nicholas Coombes and local residents persuaded the licencing committee to reduce.
