Lectern locale (4)
I believe the answer is:
dais
'lectern locale' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for dais that I've seen before include "Piece of old cloth" , "stands on this?" , "support for speaker" , "Platform, rostrum" , "device to give some an uplift at conference?" .)
