The resident of No. 12 London road, who is neither the applicant for the Planning, or issuance of an Alcoholic Licence, attended the meeting to enquire why the PC had made comments objecting to both applications.   It was pointed out that the time for consultation on the planning had passed, being the 22nd June, and the hearing for issuance of alcoholic licence was on the 25th July.   The Parish Council therefore could not comment further as this matter is now in the hands of Huntingdon District Council.
