The municipality of Kujalleq will hold a hearing to decide whether alcohol sales can be reopened.
Municipality of Kujalleq now comes with news about what the municipality will do, as part of which the sale of alcohol can eventually be reopened. On Friday, alcohol sales have been closed in the municipality for four weeks.
But the municipality states in a press release on Wednesday that the Economic and Business Committee in the Municipality of Kujalleq has decided at a meeting on Tuesday to hold a hearing on a possible reopening for the sale of alcohol.
The hearing begins today, October 28, and will last until and including November 11.
– On the basis of the collected consultation responses, the municipal council will make a decision on 18 November about when, if necessary, work towards a re-opening for the sale of alcohol, as well as which initiatives must be implemented, writes the municipality.
The municipality states that a number of parties will be consulted such as: Public authorities, Allorfik, shops, accommodation and restaurants with alcohol licences, village councils, other relevant stakeholders, citizens and children.
Mayor Malene Vahl Rasmussen (D) also says that, during the consultation period, citizen meetings will be held in all towns in Municipality of Kujalleq, and that Municipality of Kujalleq’s Nakuusaaqqat will have the opportunity to express their opinion:
– In this way, we get a broad and solid basis based on the collected consultation responses, so that the municipal council can make a well-founded decision about a possible reopening and about which of the 18 recommendations from the report “Multi-year, research-based alcohol policy and recommendations” should be implemented as concrete initiatives in the Municipality of Kujalleq, says Malene Vahl Rasmussen.
The dates for the citizens’ meetings will be published on the municipality’s website when they have been determined.
