Evaluation of the Impact of the Licensing Act 2003 To receive a report by the Head of Administration on the Evaluation of the Impact of the Licensing Act 2003. Contact: R Reeves 388003 Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered a report by the Head of Administration (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book) outlining the outcome of a recent review by the Government into the implementation and impact of the Licensing Act 2003 which had come into force in November 2005.
Members were advised that the review had concluded that the freedoms introduced by the Act were being used well but that the powers to tackle problems were not sufficiently well known and were not being taken advantage of. Having been advised that this reflected the situation locally where the implementation and administration of the Act and its provision had operated smoothly, despite the somewhat last minute issue of many of the required regulations, the Committee
RESOLVED
that the contents of the report now submitted and the evaluation exercise published by the Department for Culture Media and Sport be noted.
