When applying for a new Special Treatments Licence, it is currently a legal requirement to advertise the application via a public notice in a local newspaper.
If you’re in the process of applying to Tower Hamlets Council for a Special Treatments Licence in the borough, Wharf Life can easily help you do this.
Tower Hamlets Council says: “You must publish a notice on at least one occasion in a local newspaper, circulating in the vicinity of the premises during the period of ten working days starting on the day after the application was given to the licensing authority.
“The newspaper advert can be any size or colour but must be readable.”
Wharf Life is published every two weeks in print and has a circulation of 15,000 copies. It regularly carries public notices including Special Treatments Licences for businesses in Tower Hamlets in its classified section.
