Statement by Minister for Crime Prevention regarding powers of local communities
Date posted: Friday July 23, 2010 : Permanent Link
Following the news that the Home Office has been given full responsibility for alcohol licensing and enforcement. Minister for Crime Prevention James Brokenshire has said: ‘The Government believes that the power to make licensing decisions needs to be rebalanced in favour of local communities, so that they can decide on the night-time economy they want.’
I will be writing to the Minister to make him aware of the innovative way in which Westminster City Council has addressed this issue by funding the Licensing Advice Project.
