    THE IMPACT OF THE COVID 19 CRISIS ON LICENSING SERVICES pdf icon PDF 290 KB

    To consider the report

    Decision:

    TO ACCEPT THE INFORMATION

    TO THANK THE LICENCING UNIT FOR THEIR HARD WORK DURING THE COVID 19 CRISIS

     

    Minutes:

    Submitted - the Licensing Manager's report outlining the work of the Licensing Unit, detailing how the unit had responded to the Covid-19 crisis by adapting and prioritising its responsibilities in order to contribute to the effort to manage the spread of the infection alongside the continuation of 'normal' services.

     

    Attention was drawn to the impact of the crisis on the licensing services and to the challenging time ahead for the service as we emerge from lockdown. It was added that it would be necessary to review policy documents over the coming year, starting with the Licensing Policy Statement under the Licensing Act 2003. Once changes had been made to the (draft) Policy across North Wales, the intention was to submit the new draft Policy to the Committee, prior to the public consultation in the summer.

     

    In response to a question regarding the 'minor changes' (para 4.6) that were needed in the draft Policy, it was expressed that these were 'small changes that would reflect current legislation and figures, with the substantial work of amending the Policy having already been implemented.

     

    The Licensing Unit Officers were praised for their work and support during the time of the crisis.
