General-any news on the audio description match service?

General -watch out for the swine flu this season as we will have to visit the mud-dwellers all too soon. Any news on audio description?

Thank you for your speedy reply. Your previous responses on this issue, and the fact you continue to ask, indicate the club is far from happy on the current numbers permitted. If there is no third body that could advise in this disagreement, we can only hope the authority sees sense on their own. There must be a standard calculation available and I am disappointed that Villa cannot follow the people per square feet/emergency exit formula that the other establishments are successfully permitted to follow. You can appeal to the licensing committee and possibly to an Area Committee. Best advice is to talk first to a local councillor who is a member of the Licensing Com or to one of the council officers in a similar position. They can then tell you what the position is for appeals etc. and advise whether this is a worthwhile option. the rules are open to interpretation in some instances and not in others. An Area committee can overturn technically 'correct' decisions when there are extenuating circumstances. You have nothing to lose by this as they will prefer you to approach them in an open and direct manner. Unless they're bluenoses of course.
