The Licensing Board is consulting on its new draft Licensing Policy Statement and draft Overprovision Assessment. The draft Licensing Policy Statement sets out the Licensing Board’s proposed approach to the licensing and regulation of the sale of alcohol in Glasgow. Proposed changes to the current policy statement have been highlighted in yellow.

The draft Overprovision Assessment sets out proposed overprovision localities where there would be a presumption against the grant of further licences for the sale of alcohol.

A consultation document providing background information on the consultation has been prepared in order to assist in responding.  

Your consultation response should be in written form and can be sent to the Board as follows:

The Licensing Board will be holding a series of community engagement events.

The European Championships have now finished. Alongside the sport we had two weeks of world class culture in George Square which we temporarily closed to traffic.

We’re considering permanently closing the square and we’d like to know what you think about that.

Glasgow City Council is holding an online consultation and walk-in session to assess proposals for improved active travel routes, serving communities in the North East of Glasgow and connecting to the City Centre.

We are proposing a number of changes to improve the environment for cyclists, pedestrians, local residents and businesses, and to reduce sustainable transport journey times.

These proposals include:

• 5 km of segregated cycle routes

• Road space reallocation and traffic calming measures

• Upgraded surfacing on footways and cycle routes

• Improved pedestrian crossing facilities

A public drop in session will be held on:

Wednesday 8^th August
3pm – 7pm
Beatroute Arts Centre
285 Wallacewell Road
G21 3RP

This consultation will focus on proposed designs for segregated cycle routes and improved pedestrian facilities on Wallacewell Road, Northgate Road, Balornock Road, Broomfield Road, Red Road, Petershill Road, Turner Road and Cobden Road.

Information and an online survey will be available via www.glasgow.gov.uk/neatr from 25^th July, for a period of 4 weeks. This will provide an opportunity for residents and businesses to provide comments on the proposals that might assist with the detailed layout. The closing date for consultation will be the 22^nd August.
