Elemental

The Stage journalist Lalayn Baluch on Tues 19th May reported ‘Music and circus industry campaigners welcome MPs’ calls to relax licensing laws’:

‘The news was welcomed by Malcolm Clay, secretary of the Association of Circus Proprietors, who said: “I am pleased that the committee recommended one single license for circus, which will abolish the need for a different licence for every town. One note of caution is that this is the committee’s recommendation at this stage and isn’t government policy.”’

Does the relaxation of the laws affect you and your company?

The Without Walls consortium has received news coverage in the Stage yesterday in the report by Lalayn Baluch: ‘Street arts consortium wins £400,000 ACE grant’.
