THE ECHO IS FIGHTING PROPOSALS TO SCRAP PUBLIC LICENSING NOTICES

- By MARIA BRESLIN ECHO Editor

LIVERPOOL is famous for its nightlife. It's why we're regularly named among the best UK destinations for a city break, and why we are always spoiled for choice when looking for the perfect pub to catch up with friends, enjoy a quiz night or watch the football.

However, as a news brand, as well as celebrating everything our city has to offer, we are committed to keeping our print readers and online audience informed about what's happening in their communities.

That's why plans to scrap laws requiring alcohol licensing notices to be published in printed local newspapers such as the Liverpool ECHO are a real concern.
