Agenda item

The Licensing Manager to be heard.

The Assistant Director, Environmental Health & Public Protection reported that this year’s awards would be launched at the end of the week with application forms sent out to all premises. Information as to which premises in their Ward had signed up would then be passed to Members of the Licensing Committee. This year, companies with multiple venues in the City would continue to be targeted.

Assessments would take place throughout June and July with judgements finalised in September and the award ceremony scheduled for October 2016.  

Members were reminded that those premises participating in the scheme received a 30% discount on the Late Night Levy.

The Deputy Chairman suggested that future meetings of Pub/Club Watch be used to help promote the Safety Thirst awards scheme. She suggested that income from the Late Night Levy be used to make this happen.
