Licensing Act 2003
Redbridge Council Licensing Policy Statement review –
consultation
Under the Licensing Act
2003, the council reviews its licensing policy every three
years. The current policy came into effect in January
2005. A replacement and updated policy that shapes the future
of licensing in Redbridge is now being developed.
The policy states how the council will deal with all premises
that sell alcohol or hot food for eating in or takeaway after 11
pm, or provide live or recorded music and entertainment.
Before setting the council policy for the next three years, we
are consulting widely. Any relevant views are being sought
from local:
- statutory authorities
- residents
- businesses
- representatives
- licensees.
The Council has produced a draft
revised Licensing Policy Statement (PDF 563kb)
that will be open for formal consultation until 30 March
2008. You can download the draft policy and our consultation
circular letter (PDF 55kb) which gives further information.
We want to hear your views on the effectiveness of our current
licensing policy. Any suggestions you may have that lead to
improvements for the next three year period are welcome.
Please use the
consultation response form (PDF 94.9 kb) for your
comments, which must be submitted by 30 March 2008.
The Council will consider all views received and agree its new
policy at its meeting on 25 May 2008.
All comments should be forwarded to:
