There are lots of emails flying about re: the proposed license for the Captain Cook in Acton to do with extended drinking hours and pole dancing etc.

We have heard that there is a petition in Morrisons - should you wish to register your concerns. I said I would pass on the information…so there you go!

Gala Bingo and the newsagent opposite also have petitions.

Our branch group were talking about this last night. (No, not planning our next social!) Apparently there has been plenty of ‘activity’ around that area in the past - ie drug dealing, prostitution, condoms and needles left around - and there’s a worry that this would increase if the licence goes ahead.

It’s not just a case of what goes on inside; those with children walking to schools nearby, or those who have to walk past late at night may also be concerned.

One person on the W3 forum did comment that it was nice for the Poles to have somewhere to dance … I guess that could apply to people from Lapland too (Lapp dancing, get it?)

The Next Lads night is sorted then!
