Licensing Act 2003 Enforcement and Compliance

The Council has adopted an Environmental Services Enforcement Policy.  The purpose of this is to:

  • open communication between agencies;
  • clear lines of responsibility regarding enforcement of the law;
  • sharing intelligence and information to ensure effective enforcement.
