Issue - meetings

The Director of Neighbourhood Services submitted a report providing an update on processing licences, enforcement activity and the implementation of the Service Plan for Quarter 3 of 2014.

Councillor G Cutting commented that the 132 Temporary Event Notice (TENs) applications implied that TENs were being used to extend the opening hours of licensed premises without the applicant applying to extend the permitted hours covered by Premises Licences.  The Senior Specialist Licensing Officer stated that this was not the intention of the original licensing legislation but that people could legally use TEN’s in this way.

The Committee received the report.

RESOLVED – that the report be received.
