Dear Melville Community, Please be advised that another application for a liquor licence in the Melville area was lodged with the Gauteng Liquor Board. This application is for a Pub licence at 27Boxes for The Countess. It has been operating for a while.

The arrival of 27 boxes on our doorstep has brought both opportunities and challenges for residents, especially those living near to the development. The MRA, through its physical environment committee, has decided to form a subcommittee made up of interested and affected residents, which will focus on 27 boxes with a view to: recording and investigating complaints about noise, crime, traffic congestion and other disturbances; obtaining information from the authorities […]
