Toolkit Resource published by Alcohol Focus Scotland

The Joint Group gave consideration to a report by Alcohol Focus Scotland designed as a toolkit to assist anyone who would like to have a say on how alcohol impacts on their community.  The toolkit explained how the licensing process works in Scotland and provided some practical tips to help people who wish to get involved and is available on the Council’s website for members of the public or license holders to access.

The Group discussed how the toolkit is a useful publication to be used as a point of reference should Members be approached by constituents looking for direction if they wish to raise an objection as well as being a helpful reference document to license holders in aiding their understanding of the processes that may affect them.

Decision

The Joint Group noted the report.
