The
Licensing Act 2003 requires that the Council publish a ‘Statement of Licensing Policy’
setting out the policies the Council will generally apply to promote the four
licensing objectives when making decisions on applications under the Act.
The
Council’s current Policy Statement came into force from January 2011 and at the
time the legislation required the Statement of Licensing Policy to be published
every three years. Section 122 of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility
Act 2011 changed this from every 3 years to 5 years.
The
Licensing Authority is currently reviewing its Statement of Licensing Policy.
The main changes reflect the latest version of the Secretary of State’s
Guidance document, updated links to various websites, and updated contact
details.
We
are keen to hear from residents, businesses, licensees and anyone else with an
interest in the Barrow area. Please send comments on the draft policy to:
Graham
Barker, Principal Environmental Protection & Licensing Officer,
Environmental Health Department, Town Hall, Duke St, Barrow LA14 2LD.
Or
email commercial@barrowbc.gov.uk
The
closing date for comments is 18th September 2015
