Business Continuity


It is expected the Torch Relay will attract significant visitor numbers to line the route even before it begins its route at 8.15am. In order to capitalise on these visitor numbers, you may wish to consider opening your business earlier than normal on that day. If your premises licence does not include these hours and you wish to sell alcohol or carry out other regulated entertainment such as recorded music, you can apply online for a Temporary Event Notice to cover these activities atwww.gloucester.gov.uk

Is Gloucester having a practice run? I was stuck behind the torch bus(es) in Peterborough at the weekend where they were doing a practice run. Seemed like a waste of time and resources to me!
