Report by Executive Director – Customer Services 22 May 2012.

Susan Mair, Legal Manager referred to the report by the Executive Director – Customer Services which had been approved by Council in May 2012.

It was pointed out that since that date, membership of the Local Licensing Forum (LLF) had changed considerably, and attendance levels at meetings had continued to decline.  It was noted however, that attendance levels increased when important topics requiring an input or action from the LLF had arisen.

Members discussed the potential future composition of the LLF, and methods to attract membership from a variety of organisations and businesses representative of the Argyll and Bute Council area.   It was noted that it was set out in statute that the Forum could have a maximum number of 21 members.

Decision

Members agreed that a report be submitted to the next meeting of the Council on 21 April 2016 outlining a review of the recruitment to and membership of the Local Licensing Forum.
