Antisocial Behaviour & LicencingIn the last few years there has been a growing awareness that Richmond town centre and the riverside faces problems of antisocial behaviour and that many of these problems are caused or exacerbated by alcohol. Of course Richmond is not alone in this and other towns have similar problems. The Licensing Act 2003 will bring about many changes in the way in which licensing applications are dealt with. The effect of the Antisocial Behaviour Act 2003 and increased commitment by the Council and the police to tackle these problems creates a real opportunity of addressing these complex problems. The Society will be working towards this in close conjunction with the Council, the police and the Friends of Richmond Green. Applications for Licence variations under the new Licensing Act are now being processed by Richmond Council. A briefing sent to all residents on Richmond Green is available by clicking this link: Impact of new Licensing Laws on Richmond. The process for objecting to an application for a licence variation is available by clicking this link: How to object to applications for Licence variations. |
