Class 1: About South Lanarkshire
The Licensing Board is a Scottish public authority as defined in Part 3 of Schedule 1 of the Act. South Lanarkshire’s Licensing Board is divided into 4 Divisional Boards. Each Licensing Division is a separate legal entity.
The Board comprises ten elected members of South Lanarkshire Council. Councillors are required to adhere to the councillors’ code of conduct set out by the Standards Commission for Scotland.
The Board is a separate legal entity from the council. It does not employ any staff or own any assets. All staff carrying out the Board’s responsibilities are recruited and employed by the council. The council provides accommodation for the meetings of the Board and necessary expenses for the work of the Board. All revenue received by the Board from licence application fees must be transferred to the council and the Board’s budget is held by the council.
The Board makes decisions on policies and applications. It is assisted and advised in its work by its Clerk, who is the Head of Administration and Legal Services within the council. The Clerk is assisted by officials of the Licensing and Registration Team within Administration and Legal Services.
Normal working hours for the Board and its staff are 8.45am to 4.45pm Mondays to Thursdays and Fridays 8.45am – 4.15pm.
Any enquiries or complaints regarding the Board’s work can be directed to Clerk to the Licensing Board.
