LICENSING FACTSHEET
Following requests from members, NODA has produced a factsheet on the new licensing laws. For a copy, visit the Members Area of the NODA website or phone 0870 770 2480.
We understand that a review of the Licensing Act will be carried out after a period of one year and so we need to keep a record of all instances where the new licensing law causes problems for amateur theatre groups, to present during the formal consultation process. To do this we need help from our members, by letting us know any adverse effects the new law is causing you. We also suggest you write to your MP pointing out the problems the Licensing Act is causing, the fact that the Department for Culture, Media and Sport has failed to respond to NODA’s letters of 8 July and 20 July 2005 informing them of the threat posed by the Act to amateur theatre groups, and asking that the government urgently review the impact the Act is having on amateur theatre, which is a vital community resource. |
