excellent work, and well done to all those involved.
regular meetings is whats required, talking to the trade, with the trade informing them of any problems which might endager the public, or prevent the hounest hard working memebers of the trade from making a living.
and if this has been promised in front of councillor shipley, they wont be able to lie again.
maybe this will silence the doubters on here, as when a councillor arranges secound meetings and arranges for regular meetings with licencing, then there is clearly, as we all knew, a problem.
