As reported some time ago, a Sex Shop License has been requested for the premises at 8 Caledonian Road.  During the last several weeks we have been trying to arrange a meeting between some local residents, our Councillor Paul Convery and the applicant to learn more details of the proposal and to "point-out" local objections.  Trading Standards, who has encouraged such a meeting however, has been unable to arrange it – due to the applicant’s "lack of availability."

Now the formal Licensing Hearing will take place to decide on this application.  I know a number of letters objecting were sent during the Consultation Period which has now closed, so there is no action folks can take now – other then to attend the meeting.  It will take place on 12 March at 2:30PM at Islington Town Hall.

Both Councillor Convery and I will be attending, hopefully some other local faces can join us.
