Licensing Divisions

Licensing Division No 1 - Clydesdale

This Division deals with applications from the Clydesdale area which includes Lanark, Carluke, Biggar, Lesmahagow and surrounding villages.

Like all licensing authorities, it must publish a Statement of Licensing Policy.

The Licensing Division is quite separate from the council but its members are all serving councillors. Its 10 members are:

Alex Allison
Ralph Barker
Ross Gowland - Depute Convener
Poppy Corbet
Richard Lockhart
Eileen Logan
Julia Marrs
Ian McAllan
Catherine McClymont - Convener
David Shearer

The proposed meeting dates are noted below. For the assistance of applicants a suggested final date for submission of applications has been included. If a fully completed application is submitted by the date specified it is anticipated that the application will be considered at the meeting of the Board unless there are unforeseen issues or any difficulties arise.

Meetings may be held remotely or in Committee Room 1 at 10am unless otherwise stated.
