Report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection outlining the proposed actions to be taken by the Licensing Team in order to address the recommendations of the City’s Night Time Economy (NTE) report focussing around the areas of cumulative impact, the advent of Crossrail, City of London drinking culture and the collection of data for analysis.  

Members were advised that this was a follow up report to the NTE exercise looking at the data and next steps. It was noted that a number of recommendations were already being progressed, e.g. the Licensing Team were developing maps and installation of a Police CCTV van in Bishopsgate had been approved. Members agreed with the recommendations proposed within the report.  

RESOLVED – That Members:-

·         Agree the actions to be taken by the Licensing Team outlined in paragraphs 8, 9, 10, 14, 18 and 19 of this report;

·         Note that a further report will be submitted to the next Licensing Committee with an update of the progress made against the proposed actions.
