Bohemia Village Voice

GL Sanctuary. The opening date for this new health & beauty salon has been put back to Saturday 2 Sep at 11:00am. Someone ‘mega-rich-and-famous’ is being sought to perform the official opening. We are not allowed to know who.
Bet Bet Bet staff have been described as ‘extremely courteous’ and have been said to offer ‘better odds than Ladbrokes’ … and they offer free coffee.
Proposed new off-licence. Hastings Borough Council’s Licensing Chairman, Trevor Scales, has received four valid letters of objection to the application for an off-licence at the old Lullabuys property by new owner Masood Iqbal. About twenty further letters were received which have had to be disregarded as they did not include objections allowed within the Licensing Act. Some objected on the grounds of parking, which is not ‘an acceptable reason’. Work has stopped temporarily at the proposed Bohemia Foodmarket site. Owner Masood Iqbal says he “has only been popping in and out recently” and that he has “not been doing any work at the shop as I’ve been ill with a chest infection, and I’ve been waiting for planning permissions to come through. I’ve heard lots of local shopkeepers are objecting.”
Bohemia Village Voice. Is now available for reading at Hastings Central Library in Claremont, in the reference section. Information Services Librarian Roger Bristow, has requested all back copies.
