Celebrate your 90th with the Lord Mayor

HM Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her 90th birthday on 21 April and the Lord Mayor, Councillor Michael Hammon, is inviting anyone who also has their 90th birthday during 2016 to a special party.

Councillor Hammon said: “It would be fantastic to celebrate HRH Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday alongside other people in the city who are 90 this year. It’s always wonderful to meet citizens of Coventry, so I would like to invite anyone who celebrates their 90th birthday this year to join me for an afternoon of tea and music.”

The celebration will be held in the Coventry Transport Museum between 2pm and 4pm on 21 April, and will feature afternoon tea and musical entertainment from the Kaleidoscope Singers.

If you or someone you know reaches 90 in 2016 and would like to attend the party, you can request a pair of free tickets by e-mail or by calling 024 7683 3100.

Another alcohol licence sought

While the March ECHO was being printed, we learned that an application has been made for a licence to sell alcohol at 52b Earlsdon Street, known recently as Lickety Lick. The application is for a premises called The Generator Food and Drink and covers Alcohol, Entertainment and Late Night Refreshment, between 9am and midnight, seven days per week.

The deadline for public comments on the application is Thursday 17 March and they can be submitted to the Licensing Team or sent to Earlsdon councillor Allan Andrews for him to pass on.

Any objections to the licence application must be based around one (or more) of the licensing objectives:

  1. The prevention of crime and disorder;

  2. The protection of children from harm;

  3. The prevention of public nuisance; or

  4. The promotion of public safety.
