Decision details

Noted the findings of a study by the Panel regarding the impact of excessive alcohol consumption on levels of anti-social behaviour and alcohol related crime within the District. Welcomed and encouraged the actions being taken by the various agencies in an attempt to reduce the impact of excessive alcohol consumption on levels of anti-social behaviour and alcohol related crime within the District. Supported the principles of the Cambridgeshire Alcohol Strategy 2008-2011. Requested the Head of Administration to liaise formally with the enforcement agencies to encourage them to make full use of the powers available to them to tackle the effects of alcohol misuse and resultant public disorder and to carry out this work in a more co-ordinated way. Also requested the District Council’s Licensing Section to ensure that local residents are aware that the opportunities available to them under the Licensing Act 2003 to initiative reviews of premises licences and club premises certificates where they were experiencing problems caused by public disorder emanating from these premises.
