Licencing: Barbie Lyon raised the late opening application by Chicken Crew, 25 Dalry Rd who want to have a 2am late opening approved. Presently they close at 11 pm. This take away/sit in business is situated below residential properties. This would cause obvious noise and litter problems in the area where anti social behaviour has been problematic at times. Objections have to be made to the licencing department by 16th May. Petitions are not accepted. Personally written and signed letters of objections can be sent or scanned and emailed to the department licencing@edinburgh.gov.uk
