7 PROCEDURE FOR HEARING PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENT LICENCES

AT LICENSING COMMITTEE

The Committee agreed that the attached procedure adopted in January 2003 was to be reviewed in January 2005. Having reviewed its operation, it is recommended no changes are proposed. Other procedures for street trading licensing and taxi licensing also remain unchanged.

It should be noted that the procedures for public entertainment licensing will only be in place up to the ‘second appointed day’ under the Licensing Act 2003, after which time this Committee will not consider public entertainment licensing.
