Agenda item

Report of the Director of Markets & Consumer Protection (copy attached).

A report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection in relation to the concern that Members had about the insufficient provision in the City at night to deal with anti-social behaviour and public nuisance, primarily patron noise from licenced premises, particularly in Carter Lane, was considered.

The Assistant Director of Environmental Health & Public Protection presented this item explaining that the report outlined the actions which would be taken to improve the service and that the Licensing Steering Group set up by the Town Clerk would be the appropriate body to oversee the improvements.

In response to a query by a Member it was agreed that the names of the officers on the Licensing Steering Group would be circulated to Members.

The Chairman explained that he was pleased to get a positive outcome from the meeting which took place with the Town Clerk.
