Agenda item

Report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection.

The Committee considered the report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection which informed Members that at a meeting of the Licensing Committee in July 2013 the Chairman requested that a report be produced concerning the joint night time inspections being undertaken by the responsible authorities over the last year.

Members noted that the issues being raised during inspections fell into three main areas of the licensing objectives; public safety, crime and disorder and public nuisance. Members noted how information was shared and used in the new Traffic Light Assessment Scheme which was introduced this year. Officers agreed to circulate information regarding the Traffic Light Assessment Scheme to new Members of the Committee for information.
