The priorities of the Licensing
Section reflected the duty placed on the authority in relation to its
responsibilities for the licensing function and the effective regulation,
control and enforcement of licensees, and the authority’s commitment to safer
communities and the development of the economy.
The work programme had been drafted taking into account relevant
policies and review dates together with any potential legislative changes proposed.
A number of items in the work
programme had been rescheduled or removed and a revised work programme had been
presented for members’ consideration.

the position in twelve months’ time (June 2025)

update had been received on the report item
· Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles –
the item had been rescheduled to March 2025 to enable members to consider the
results of the consultation on the review of licensing requirements.
Members noted the revisions to
the forward work programme.
RESOLVED that –
(a) the contents
of the report be noted, and
(b) the forward
work programme for 2024/25 as detailed in Appendix A to the report be approved.
