Renew Little Olly's Trading Permit


Renew Little Olly's Trading Permit
The issue
Little Olly's at the Oliver's Hill boatramp has not just served up excellent coffee, they have created a community hub which drives wellbeing, connection and happiness. The decision to not renew their permit literally DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Everyone from new mums and dads, to retirees, to kids raising money for charity, to university students getting a break, to emergency-service workers looking for some good vibes LOVE this place.
We need to be realistic here... Of course people will find somewhere else to get a coffee. However, the genuine sense of community, goodwill and local pride that has been fostered from Little Olly's will not be replicated.
IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE COUNCIL THAT ANOTHER OPERATOR IS BEING GIVEN THE TRADING PERMIT... OUTRAGEOUS AND COMPLETELY BONKERS.
Forget about the friendships that have been created, the memories families have built, the community groups that have been inspired and established, the local businesses which have been supported or the literal lives saved during the pandemic. The very council that is making this decision has benefited SO much from the existence of Little Olly's and they're now letting down the people that made it so.
They've been given one-month's notice! A business, which employs real people and pays real bills, has been given one month's notice to redesign their entire model...
It is literally URGENT.
