) South Lanarkshire's four Divisional Licensing Boards are undertaking a review of their statements of Licensing Policy n in order to agree and implement a new policy statement. Following initial evidence gathering the Board has agreed the terms of a draft policy and is seeking a wide range of views and responses before it comes to a final decision. As part of this process the board is carrying out an assessment of localities in the Board's area to decide whether there is overprovision of licensed premises. Details of localities which may be subject to overprovision are included in the draft policy.
Why are we consulting?
Each Licensing Board is responsible for making decisions about premises selling alcohol in its area. It must have a policy statement setting out how it will make decisions, and before finalising its policy it must carry out a consultation.
Who are we consulting
Businesses, Community groups/organisations, Expert stakeholders, General public, Residents of the area, Stakeholders and Young people
How will findings be used?
Your responses will be used by the Licensing Board when deciding on the provisions of the Statement of Licensing Policy and overprovision assessment
