Council consults on draft Local Alcohol Policy

Consultation is open on the Council’s draft Local Alcohol Policy. This follows the collection of public through an early engagement process in February/March this year.

The draft policy includes: 9pm closing for off-licence retailers (including bottle stores & supermarkets); a freeze on new off-licences in high deprivation areas; and restrictions on new bottle stores near sensitive sites such as schools and addition centres.

Options that were considered but not carried forward into the daft include a reduction in trading hours for on-licences in suburban areas, and a one-way door restriction for venues.
