DELEGATED DECISIONS OF THE DIRECTOR OF MARKETS AND CONSUMER PROTECTION PERTAINING TO PREMISES LICENCES

Report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection.

(N.B. – To be read in conjunction with the non-public appendix at Item 18)

Minutes:

The Committee noted a report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection regarding the delegated decisions of the Director pertaining to premises licences.

 

Members were advised that there were two premises classified as ‘red’ and both should be downgraded by the next quarter.

 

A Member noted that Bishopsgate had more new applications than the other Wards put together which reinforced the need to look at the area and carry out a cumulative report of the area. The Town Clerk agreed to circulate information to Members concerning the offer to go out with the City of London Police one evening to experience the night time economy.

 

A Member was concerned that 19 premises were not paying the fee and had received a ‘Live’ Suspension. Members were advised that most premises paid as soon as they received the notice letter. It was noted that premises that were suspended could not operate and would be prosecuted if caught trading without paying the fee.  

 

RECEIVED.
