LICENSING MATTERS FOR THE YEAR ENDING August 2013

All applications for new licences or changes to existing ones are considered. Another quiet year. It does seem that the Cumulative Impact Area status in central Clifton has made a positive impact. It is also good to see a marked increase in response from residents in opposing controversial applications. Numbers certainly count.
Remember that if you are troubled by late night noise, music or anything else coming from a licensed premise, it most important to keep a diary of this so that any complaint has a reliable, factual, back up. It also has to be borne in mind that some premises have a condition that they can hold 12 events each year which can go on later in the night than normal and that this might be a reason for a later than usual disturbance.
