Mayor’s licensing powers
GLA Deputy Mayors have written to boroughs calling for action in supporting hospitality. The Government has formed a new working group, as described here, to explore how to reduce barriers within the licensing system. To revitalise the capital’s nightlife, a proposal is to grant the Mayor of London new powers to review and potentially overturn licensing applications blocked by local councils. That is of concern if local communities could be adversely affected.
Dave Hill has commented on this for ONLONDON.
