There was a public meeting at Theatr Brycheiniog on Monday to consider the Globe's application for a revised license, so they could extend their opening hours for various festivals throughout the year.
The meeting lasted for an hour and a half, and presumably the County Council had to pay for the hire of the hall - and at the end of it the result was....decision deferred until another meeting later. So that's another evening that people who wish to go to the meeting will have to turn out - the new meeting will be on 19th December, but the B&R has no knowledge of the venue yet.
At the end of the meeting, around 25 people stood up to show their support for the Globe's application, but the B&R doesn't record how many people were there to oppose the application.

Amazing how few reports there are of the numbers against the Globe. Having looked at their website, is the globe or IAI a charity or similar? Would be interesting to know how much (if any to be fair) public money is involved.
To the best of my knowledge, Hilary Lawson is the owner, and I think he set up some sort of trust to run it. When Mandy Haughton came to a meeting to speak on the Globe's behalf (she's the person in charge) she said that it was self-funding, without public money, but I think they also apply for grants of various kinds.
Thank you Eigon
Licence!
According to Powys County Council the Globe/IAI has had grants of £5000 Oct2008 £5000 Nov2010 and £10000 April 2009
