BRIDGE butcher Charlie Le Poidevin reckons he has lost £3,000 in takings because of delays in granting him a Sunday trading licence - and is calling for the law to be reviewed.

Mr Le Poidevin (pictured), of Charlie's Family Butchers, took over the former Johns the Butcher a month ago and applied to St Sampson's constables for a licence. But it has still not been granted and he said the delay was damaging his business.

'They said originally it would take about three to four weeks, but two people came last week, asked me to sign a piece of paper and said it could take another two weeks,' he said.

St Sampson's senior constable Andy Bichard said that anyone who had applied could telephone the constables to find out what stage the application was at.
