I meant to flag this up sooner and the deadline is now tomorrow. The new licensees of the Central Bar have applied for a license that would allow them to serve alcohol from 7 am! It's bad enough having to run the gauntlet of smokers outside the Portobello Bar from 9 am but this would mean hundreds of primary and secondary school children having to negotiate a very busy and narrow corner past people who may have already been drinking for almost 2 hours. In my view it's completely unacceptable.
If you wish to object, please do so by email to:
tracey.mclean@edinburgh.gov.ukQuote the name address of the premises, which is Central Bar, 163 Portobello High Street, EH15 1EU.
Remember, the deadline is tomorrow!
