The power has been handed to local councils, but some may not be able to act quickly enough
Pubs across England are hoping a minister’s letter to councils across England means venues can open early for the World Cup final on Sunday. An average of 4.6 million people tuned in on a working day to watch the Lionesses progress to their first ever World Cup final with the win being the most-watched game of the tournament so far.
Pub bosses have warned that licensing rules mean some venues will be unable to serve pints or open early for excited fans on the day. Current regulations mean the sale of alcohol is widely prohibited before 10am on Sunday, but venues such as pubs also have specific hours they can stay open and serve alcohol depending on individual licences.
Individual pubs can apply for a temporary event notice to vary their hours, but that requires five working days to process. In cases where an application is being rapidly considered to allow a short extension to licensing hours, the Government is encouraging local authorities to continue to do everything they can to complete the process in time, working closely with local police forces.
“They will be working with partners and local vendors to ensure supporters can enjoy the match safely and get behind our Lionesses.”
