Complain about a licensed alcohol and entertainment premises
Changes to applications
We will be using a new system for managing licensing applications, which will be in place in the next few weeks. This will mean that the way you apply for a licence will change, you will need to log in to make and manage your application.
This change does not affect skips and highways licensing.
In the first instance discuss the issues informally with the premises licence holder. In many cases they will not be aware of the problem and this will give them the opportunity to resolve the issues.
If this does not lead to an improvement, then you should contact us.
