Licensing
Our Licensing Team is responsible for the licensing and
registration of various premises and activities. This is to ensure
that venues and licensed activities are operated safely and without
disturbance to those within the local community. The Team also
encourages the promotion of the local economy particularly at
night-time. This will not be however at the detriment of the local
community or general amenity of the area.
