You may soon be able to buy beer and wine on Sundays in Pittsylvania County. The Board of Supervisors recently agreed to allow voters to choose whether to end Sunday prohibition.
News 7's Justin McLeod tells us why a new Virginia law could play a part in this old issue.

((((NAT SOUND OF CASH REGISTER))
You can buy just about anything you want here at the E-Z shop on Highway 58 just west of Danville.
But on Sundays, don't reach for the beer or wine.
Pittsylvania County has Sunday prohibition.
[SOT 13:05:16]
[IN Q=We have to drive all the way]
((STEVE DUNCAN/CUSTOMER: WE HAVE TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY TO HENRY COUNTY OR WE HAVE TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY TO THE CITY OF DANVILLE ON SUNDAYS WHEN WE HAVE ALL THE STORES RIGHT HERE.))
[Runs= 06]
[OUT Q=stores right here]

But that could soon change.
Area businesses have successfully petitioned the county to allow voters to decide whether the ban should stay or go.

They argue Sunday prohibition costs them thousands of dollars in revenue each year.
[SOT 13:00:00]
[IN Q=They are not planning]
((MICHAEL ESTES/CONVENIENCE STORE OWNER: THEY ARE NOT PLANNING STOPPING HERE TO GET BEER, STOPPING HERE TO GET GAS, STOPPING HERE TO BUY CHIPS. THEY STOP TO GET IT ALL AT ONCE, AND IF THEY CAN'T GET IT ALL THEY'LL JUST GO UP THE ROAD.))

[Runs= 07]
[OUT Q=just go up the road]
[SOT 00:07:34]
[IN Q=The last time this issue]
((JUSTIN McLEOD/REPORTING: THE LAST TIME THIS ISSUE CAME UP IT WAS ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO. AT THE TIME, VOTERS DECIDED TO KEEP THE BAN BY THE NARROWEST OF MARGINS. THIS TIME AROUND, THERE WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE, VOTERS WILL DECIDE BY DISTRICT RATHER THAN ALTOGETHER AS A COUNTY.))
[Runs= 15]
[OUT Q=altogether as a county]
((QUICK NAT SOUND OF STORE))
So conceivably, residents in one town could say yes while another says no.
As an example, that could allow for Sunday alcohol sales in Gretna but not in Chatham.
This is all made possible thanks to a new Virginia law.

[Runs= 10]

Area churches led the fight last time to defeat the ban.
According to the Pittsylvania County Baptist Association, there is no active campaign so far.
