Public consultation
Rugby Borough Council has reviewed its Statement of Licensing Policy, which sets out the council's policy for licensing and regulating businesses which sell alcohol and/or provide entertainment and/or late night refreshment.
The policy usually covers businesses such as pubs, clubs, restaurants, hotels, off licences and late-night food takeaways.
The Licensing Act 2003 sets out the following four statutory objectives which must be addressed when undertaking licensing functions:
- the prevention of crime and disorder
- public safety
- the prevention of public nuisance
- the protection of children from harm
The council, as the licensing authority, must carry out its functions under the Licensing Act 2003 with a view to promoting the statutory objectives.
