The Licensing Team is concerned with the provision of administering and enforcing a range of permits, registrations and licences covering over forty pieces of legislation.
It has two strategic objectives which are to:-
Promote Social Responsibility in Licensed Premises
Ensure safe passenger journeys, in safe licensed vehicles with safe licensed drivers
The statutory element of the service involves the processing of applications, licensing enquiries, consultations, hearings and enforcement.
