Details of the Home Office consultation on fee under the Licensing Act 2003 (in England and Wales) closing 10 April 2014 can be accessed at:
This consultation is likely to attract mixed view from Licencing authorities desperate to cover costs and from the licenced trader who understandably may not be keen on see local business costs potentially increased. Destination management organisation, some of whom are Council/Licensing authority based, who all represent local tourism businesses and, some of whom are themselves license holders, may find this a particularly tricky one to handle? At the very least it may be worth ensuring that the local trade are aware of the consultation process.
