Councillors get new licensing powers

A change in the law now means that ward councillors may call for reviews of existing licences on one or more of four grounds. These are:

  1. the prevention of crime and disorder
  2. the prevention of public nuisance
  3. public safety
  4. the protection of children from harm

If you have actual evidence as well as real concerns about nuisance or safety issues arising from any alcohol or entertainment licensed establishment within the Headington Ward – please get in touch with David and me, also the Neighbourhood team on 0845 850 5505 and your local Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator. It’s best to document dates and times of disturbances if you can as this will inform the licensing panel if the case comes to review.
