Report of the Executive Director (Interim), Environment.

The Committee received a report of the Executive Director (Interim) Environment on the Premises Licence Application Non-Statutory Consultations, which looked at the process of notifying non-statutory stakeholders about new and modified licensing applications.

Members wanted to thank officers for their work in investigating this matter and for being transparent and honest. Whilst the consultation emails were non-statutory they were extremely important and Members wanted to thank the team for their work in sorting these issues out, and expressed their confidence in noting this issue had been resolved with notifications being sent out within one or two days of being received. The Chair added that this was exemplar in showing how issues should be raised and dealt with from beginning to end and congratulated the team for all their work. The Chair asked for the Committee’s agreement for this piece of news to be passed on to the Town Clerk.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
