Consultation on draft revised Guidance to be issued under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003

I have today received this email from the Government which I am posting here as it is something we have discussed before. I do urge you to join in the consultation.

I will have lots to say after yesterday's meeting of the Licensing Committee and my first real experience of how the new system works (or more precisely its short-comings)

"I am pleased to inform you that the consultation on draft revised Guidance to be issued under section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 has now begun. This consultation forms part of the second stage of the Guidance review and seeks views on the revisions that DCMS proposes to make. Please note, any revised Guidance issued by the Secretary of State following this consultation would not come into force until it is laid before Parliament.

The consultation document and revised Guidance are available at the link in the title

The consultation concludes on Wednesday 11 April and we would be grateful for any responses by then. Responses should be sent by email to: licensingconsultation@culture.gov.uk
