Licensing Act 2003 - having your say in licensing decisions

SpeakerListen to the text on this page

A key feature of the Licensing Act 2003 is to allow local communities a say in licensing decisions that affect them, not only when someone applies for a licence to carry out certain activities (such as selling alcohol or providing live music) but at any time afterwards if those activities cause problems once a licence has been granted.

Further information is available from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport on how to have your say in licensing decisions (new window).
