Its website does not allow for on-line comment at present and if this persists submit comments by email to licensing.unit@whitehorsedc.gov.uk or by writing to the District Council Offices. You must say whether or not you are objecting and which of the four licensing objectives you are addressing. For example: if concerned at potential noise and disturbance you should refer to “Prevention of Public Nuisance”; or if it’s about traffic “Public Safety”. Please consider copying your comment to the Parish Council (details below).
