The fee for a licence allowing cafés and restaurants to provide outdoor seating spaces has been waived for the second year following a row at a local council meeting last week.
Councillors at Causeway Coast and Glens Environmental Committee approved plans not to charge a fee for Pavement Café Licences for the 2021/22 financial year.
The plans also mean legal proceedings for breaches of the licensing from June 2020 to December 2020 will be withdrawn so as not to put an additional burden on businesses.
