To confirm and sign as a correct record the minutes of the Licensing Committee held on 15 May 2024 and the Licensing Sub Committees held on 11 April, 5, 18 and 25 June, 3, 16, 31 July and 14 August 2024.

The exempt section of the minutes where relevant are also appended as restricted documents.

Resolved that the Minutes of the Licensing Committee on 15 May 2024 and the Licensing Sub-Committees held on 11 April, 5, 18, 25 June, 3, 16, 31 July and 14 August 2024, be signed by the Chair as an accurate record.

The Chair referred to the last paragraph in the Minutes of the Licensing Committee on 15 May 2024, which stated that ‘The Chair and Vice-Chair agreed to prepare a brief report to present to full Council to get a view on whether the Council felt a Sex Establishment Policy was necessary. The Licensing Manger advised that she would draft a report to include legislative background, which could form a starting point for discussions. The report would be presented to the Licensing Committee for endorsement prior to going to full Council’. The Chair advised that this action had not been completed due to there being no Vice-Chair in situ since the last meeting and would be addressed later in the meeting.
