It really ticks me of when I see big businesses flouting reasonably regulations. One such local business is the JD Wetherspoon chain pub The Fox on the Hill.

It licence is very specific about what is acceptable behaviour and what isn’t. Taking noisy deliveries before 9am isn’t. But again, today, they has deliveries before 7am. Which also means it was breaching another rule that the car park shouldn’t be left open overnight or before 7am.

Which probably means the quarterly meetings I helped arrange originally have stopped happening – another condition of their licence. I’ll find out.

Hopefully it wont take council licensing officials to stop these licensing breaches but really big businesses shouldn’t be incurring the enforcement expense this involves. Sadly the system doesn’t allow fines for such avoidable enforcement to reimburse Council Tax payers.
