If you wish to run a business selling/supplying alcohol or providing entertainment you require a licence (for sales of alcohol a personal licence is also required).

The licensing authority is responsible for administering and enforcing all the licences located within the borough.

Any problematic premises can also be reviewed by the licensing authority.
