Licensing

A constant theme running through the Trust's activities in recent years has been opposition to the promotion of Durham as a place for alcohol-led entertainment. Trustees are not prohibitionists and most are not teetotal. But there needs to be a balance between the normal life of residents and the desire for others to enjoy a good night out, facilitated by a growing number of licensed premises.
