Residents have just a few more days to have their say about potential changes to alcohol licensing laws on Island.

A public consultation was launched on Friday, April 16, by the Department of Home Affairs to get people's thoughts on the draft Liquor Licensing and Public Entertainments Bill 2021.

Officials have previously stated current licensing arrangements are in need of reform, and the proposed bill is hoped to create a more streamlined process which allows innovation and represents the needs of all those in the licensed trade.

Anyone wanting to take part in the consultation can do so by visiting the online government consultation hub before the deadline on Thursday (April 29).
