Report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection.

 Members received a report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection in respect of actions taken in order to ascertain whether £40,000 could be spent, from the Night Time Levy monies, to extend the work undertaken in the City of London by Club Soda.  Members were reminded that, as a result of submitting the necessary documentation, a delegated decision had been taken in order to fund Club Soda for another twelve months from both the levy and local risk budget as not all of the Club Soda work in this second year was attributable to the night time economy and premises that paid the levy.  As requested in the minutes of the last meeting, Members had received a Business Plan and the Statement of Accounts for Club Soda.  Licensing Officers advised that funding would be released in tranches, with the next due pre-Christmas, and further update monitoring reports would be presented to the Licensing Committee. 

Members noted the dates of the next Spitalfield Festival: 24/25 November 2017 and asked if all Members of the Committee could be advised. 

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
