Consultation has started on the draft alcohol Licensing Policy 2016-2020.

The policy has been prepared in accordance with the Licensing Act 2003 and Guidance issued under Section 182 of the Act.  The policy sets out how the Council administers its licensing functions and how decisions will be made.
