Mr Ryan Bransome (Senior Licencing Officer WDDC) explained to a packed Reading Room the process of the new Alcohol and Music licence application system. There was much concern that an application for Norburton Hall would be detrimental to the surrounding area. Mr Bransome explained the licence granting and review procedures and helped to allay the fears of some village residents.
