You could also call this:

"How to object to an alcohol licence application"

You can object to a special licence application if you are told about it under section 139(b). You can do this as an individual or as a group representative.

You must write down your objection and give it to the licensing committee within a certain time after the applicant has done what they were asked to do under section 139(b).

You can only object to things that are listed in section 142, and the secretary will give a copy of your objection to the person who applied for the licence.
