"The application has been served to the licensing authority where it is considered by Derbyshire police that the circumstances undermine the prevention of crime and disorder licensing objective.”

People wanting to give their views must make representations to Chesterfield Borough Council no later than November 5.

Representations must be made in writing and addressed to: The Licensing Section, Customer Service Centre, 85 New Square, Chesterfield S40 1AH.
