Michael Stephenson 'Regulatory Services Manager' at Norwich City Council

has threaten to have hairdressers sent to six months in jail and a £20,000 fine if caught giving away a glass of free mulled wine to customers in the run-up to Christmas, it is a long time tradition in the UK that instead of hairdressers offering a cup of tea or coffee to customers in the run up to Christmas a glass of wine is offered as an alternative to help people get in to the festive spirit, but not any more in Norwich, in a letter sent to 104 salons the authority warned: ‘To address this issue enforcement action, including the use of undercover officers, may be undertaken in the near future.’ The council declared that anyone found guilty of unlawfully supplying alcohol could face a maximum of six months in jail, a maximum fine of £20,000 or both, all I can say is that I have never heard of a more mean spirited organisation than Norwich City Council, especially as times are getting tough and every business is trying it's best to keep their customers coming back.
