Easter service changes

During the Easter period, some of our services will be operating slightly different hours. Our council’s bin collection schedule will change for one week starting on Friday 29 March to make sure everyone’s waste is picked up around the bank holiday.

See the full schedule and your amended rubbish and recycling collection dates and other service changes including parking and library opening times over the Easter period.

Temporary Event Notice (TENs)

TENs are a simple way to provide licensable activities for one-off events without the need to obtain a premises licence or a personal licence.

Overview

TENs can be given to permit any or all of the following:

  • the sale of alcohol
  • the supply of alcohol to members of a registered club
  • the provision of late-night refreshment - hot food or hot drink between 11pm - 5am
  • entertainment defined as a performance of a play, an exhibition of a film, an indoor sporting event, boxing or wrestling entertainment, a performance of live music, any playing of recorded music, or a performance of dance.

TENs can often be used to temporarily extend the hours or activities permitted by a premises licence or club premises certificate.

Types of TENs

Standard TEN

You can apply for a Standard TEN if there are 10 clear working days before the start of your event. This doesn't include the day you apply for your TEN, the date of your event, Bank Holidays or weekends.

You have the right to appeal if there's an objection to a Standard TEN application. 

Late TEN

You must apply for a Late Ten if are there five clear working days before the start of your event. This doesn't include the day you apply, the date of your event, Bank Holidays or weekends.

You have no right to appeal if there's an objection to a Late TEN application.

You need to complete the same application form regardless of the type of TEN you're applying for.
