Minutes:
The Cabinet Member Housing and Safety thanked officers, the Licensing Committee and those that had responded to the consultation.
A member made reference to paragraph 5.32-the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 and requested that a footnote be added to make reference to the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 which covers alcohol licensing and which repeals Alcohol Disorder Zones. In response the Senior Licensing Officer explained that Alcohol Disorder Zones would be repealed on 6 April 2012. The Policy Statement would be reviewed again at the end of next year and would be brought into line with the amendments of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011.
The Mayor added that when granting licences in the future consideration should also be given to how the licensing department takes into account the views of the public.
Upon a vote it was unanimously
RESOLVED that the proposed draft revised policy statement at Appendix 2 be approved and adopted with immediate effect.
