Appointment of Licensing Sub-Committee(S) and Delegations to Officers pdf icon PDF 207 KB

Minutes:

The Licensing and Policy Officer presented a report proposing the membership of the Licensing Committee Sub-Committees following the Annual Meeting of Council 2022. It was proposed that the Licensing Committee continue with the existing arrangements and approve the formation of two panels sitting on a rota basis, each consisting of seven Members of the Licensing Committee and chaired by the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson of the Licensing Committee where possible. In the event that the Chair or Vice Chair were not able to attend their respective sub-committee meeting, a chair would be elected from those in attendance.

 

A member asked if both sub-committees dealt with a mix of items or if they each focussed on certain areas. The Democratic Services Officer replied that they both would have the same functions. Both committees dealt with identical work and this was just a way of sharing the workload.

 

RESOLVED:        The Committee approved the formation of two panels sitting on a rota basis (as listed below) each consisting of seven Members of the Licensing Committee and chaired by the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson of the Licensing Committee where possible. In the event that the Chair or Vice Chair were not able to attend their respective sub-committee meeting, a chair would be elected from those in attendance. These Licensing Sub-Committees would undertake licensing functions, including taxi licensing and street trading as set out in the Council’s Constitution.
