B&M have lodged a licence application, which is on display in the window of the shop unit, to Great Yarmouth Borough Council to serve alcohol between 7am and 11pm seven days a week.

Representations for or against the application can be lodged with the Borough Council in writing or by emailing, licensing@great-yarmouth.gov.uk before October 18.
