The meeting was in two parts, first the formal bit in the committee room, then the less formal bit in the Strangers Bar - which is a great place for outsiders to drink because only parliamentarians are allowed to pay for drinks.<br/><br/>The other was a meeting with the pubs minister (not just me, there were a dozen or two other people there). I asked how to do something. He said &#34;article 4 direction&#34;. I said &#34;officers won&#39;t do that because of the risk of being sued.&#34; He said &#34;tell your officers to do their risk assessment again - yes that risk is there in theory, but in real life the number of times councils actually get sued is zero.&#34; I went back to officers with this, and they said &#34;oh, OK then&#34; and issued an article 4 direction. 2025-08-22T13:13:10Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsv8f396ugrzwndmf3tn3lty635s0c7r2f5zsurd8lxr27h2edmzlgzyred3gkhsr75apvqaqu9gdwvj4nc3n3xxcvtr38uxtk302a6lz3v5mj07gp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs94zkvulg2yhuhryyp8th0fd3pxz6jep9vpptjgstk8208aw2v2hsh8syvz'>nevent1q…syvz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I was the planning portfolio holder. I&#39;d been moaning about pubs for some time, and then one day the planning head of service sidled up to me and said she had some ideas, but it would need to start with an evidence base, and it would cost £20k (or whatever it was) for consultants to prepare a report. Which she could pay for out of one of her slush funds.<br/><br/>[Council officers who *do* want to do something they&#39;re asked to do by politicians find that they magically have the money lying around in an existing budget. Council officers who *don&#39;t* want to do what the politicians want them to do will instead insist on the funding going through next year&#39;s budget cycle as a new bid.]<br/><br/>Sadly my offer to help the consultants with their field work was not taken up.<br/><br/>There are a number of pubs open today which otherwise would not be. 2025-08-22T12:47:51Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsyadhalvtyp5vs74xw7606slr04vxze5menpskc45dqcv59q9y5rczyred3gkhsr75apvqaqu9gdwvj4nc3n3xxcvtr38uxtk302a6lz3v5wef88e In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqpvwqrm898w2czz3epj4w6mue4fjxsdt27drl3lkx5ejg75gp0egdtyfp3'>nevent1q…yfp3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I did what I could.
