The Licensing Department by law, have to send a reminder letter out before the annual fee is due. This letter was sent out to the registered address of the premises or their legal agent during August, 2024. If people had failed to pay by the 1st October, 2024, then a second letter reminding them to pay immediately was sent out, a final email was sent in November, 2024.
