A COMPANY that specialises in promotional goods has applied to Reading Borough Council for permission to sell alcoholic items.
Drayton Gifts, based at 472 Basingstoke Road in Whitley, has an inventory that includes clothing, electrical goods and office accessories, as well as food and drink.
Up to now, any hampers that have included alcohol have been dispatched directly from suppliers, but the company wishes to have the flexibility to do it themselves.
Its license, if approved, would be to sell alcohol from 9am to 5.30pm on weekdays.
The consultation period runs until Monday, August 14, and comments can be made by emailing: licensing@reading.gov.uk. These submissions are publicly available.
