The Clerkenwell Licensing Campaign
Today, Clerkenwell’s Lib Dem Councillors start a campaign to tighten up the rules on the sale of alcohol in Clerkenwell.
The ward has 135 licensed premises, and we think that’s enough. Anyone coming along with a proposal for yet another bar, club, pub, restaurant or cafe wanting to sell alcohol should have to have a very good reason for it.
We’ve started gathering a petition - both on paper and on-line. We will be out on the streets gathering signatures, and knocking on doors throughout the summer.
If you would like to support us, please go the campaign web page here.
You can also sign up there for news on how the campaign is going, and leave comments for us.
This is one of the most important factors affecting the quality of life in Clerkenwell, so please help us!

Bravo on this campaign. I printed a copy of the petition and placed it in the lobby at 1 Britton. Within a few hours it was filled so I printed another one. The 4 bullet points at the top of the petition are brilliantly written–concise and very compelling. Bill Bleakley 1 Britton Street, Flat 35
