The full application for this licence will be published on the Ofcom website shortly. Ofcom seeks views on the application by 18 February 2008*. Any written representations on the applications can either be emailed to commercialradio@ofcom.org.uk or posted to Neil Stock, Head of Radio, Ofcom, Riverside House, 2a Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1 9HA. Ofcom intends to publish any representations on our website, so please indicate clearly if you wish your representation to remain confidential.
*As Ofcom has only received one application for the local radio multiplex licence for Lincolnshire, the Radio Licensing Committee is intending to make a decision on this licence sooner than initially scheduled. Therefore, Ofcom is asking for all views on the application by 18 February 2008 (previously 14 April 2008).
