    The Lord Rosebery, a JD Wetherspoon pub in Westborough, and the Harbour Bar ice cream parlour in Sandside have both had their pavement licences extended.

    Government legislation brought in last year, designed to promote economic recovery and growth in response to the coronavirus pandemic, introduced an easier pavement licence application process for businesses that already serve food and drink.

    Planning permission is also temporarily waived for pavement licences and the process is sped up to limit waiting times for those applying.

    The scheme had been due to expire on 31 September this year, but has now been extended by 12 months by the government, though premises must apply for the extra time.
