Minutes:

The Committee considered a report which provided Members with an update on the consultation exercise which was undertaken on the revised Statement of Licencing Policy. The report also sought approval to extend the current Statement of Licensing Policy until the revised statement was ratified by Council.

The consultation received 4 responses, members were advised that a response had been received suggesting that attendance at pub watch should be compulsory, however this was not a condition the Council could make mandatory within a premises licence.

 

Members received the report positively and thanked Officers for producing comprehensive and accessible reports.

 

RESOLVED: (Unanimously)

 

1.    The committee agree that the current Statement of Licensing Policy be extended until the draft Statement of Licensing Policy is adopted by full Council.

2.    The Committee agree that the report be taken to the next Full Council Meeting, with a recommendation to formally adopt the revised Statement.
