Issue - meetings

The Chair of the Local Licensing Forum (LLF) explained that he had been exploring opportunities to create better links between Scottish Local Licensing Forums and the Scottish Government. 

He had been also been made aware of instances where the Argyll and Bute Council LLF had not been notified or consulted by the Scottish Government on particularly relevant topics of interest.

It was suggested that following a review of the membership of the Forum that there may be the opportunity to focus on particular issues, and an opportunity given to invite presentations from various organisations on these.

Decision

Members noted the position and agreed that the Chair continue to discuss the potential for the framework of a National Licensing Forum with other Scottish Local Licensing Forums.
