lambeth licensing review

LAMBETH LICENSING POLICY REVIEW
DEADLINE  FOR COMMENTS 24TH AUGUST
 
London Borough of Lambeth: our disclaimer is at the end of this e-mail.
***********************************************************************************
 
We have just commenced public consultation on the revision of the Lambeth Statement of Licensing Policy.
 
The revision has sought to make the policy more focussed to Lambeth, and to address the issues that have arisen since the first policy was published in January 2005.
 
The Statement of Licensing Policy is a document that sets out in broad terms the way in which the Council will deal with licensing matters. It is governed by constraints from within the Licensing Act and also the Guidance issued by the Secretary of State. The policy is not necessarily absolute and can be departed from if there are justifiable circumstances.
 
 
The closing date for responses is Friday 24th August, responses should be sent in writing to:-
 
The Licensing Team
2 Herne Hill Road
London SE24 0AU
 
Or licensing @lambeth.gov.uk

application to change the hours of trading at TSOLO 49/51 NORWOOD   Road.   A JAZZ CLUB  drinks till 4am and  refreshments till 5 am
The above application although available on the shop front has just been posted on the  SOUTHWARK Council's website today.
 
Local residents  who feel  they may be affected by late night dispersals  can make representations. Although it is likely that  under the new  2003 Licensing Act   impacts will be dealt with retrospectively.
 
This  now  makes at   least four establishments trading   beyond till 4am.

Late Night Economy

CENTRE OF HERNE HILL IMPACT OF LATE NIGHT ECONOMY AND LICENSING.
 
The Forum has taken the initiative in asking for a review of licensing  by Southwark and Lambeth for the Centre of Herne Hill and its   impact on people living close to the centre and the quality of life including  public safety in the centre.
 
Present weakness  on the Lambeth side are an apparent lack of  joint action
 
Under the New Licensing Act 2003 which came into effect in November  2005.., enforcement   can be  a matter for Police, Licensing Officer, Planning Noise Team, Environmental Health. There isn't one point of call  for a resident to report to.- notwithstanding that  there are two  Acts  placing a duty on the local authority to take a lead role..
 
We are also seeking a  joint approach by LAMSOUTH  to planning and licensing.  To achieve a  Neighbourhood Centre  with   a good mix of provision needs a strategy policy.
 
An approach  was made to the 9 councillors  whose wards  cover Herne Hill and our MP and GLA   representative. We have had interest and support from all quarters a a meeting was held   recently to address the issues  attended by
good representation from both boroughs including Sharon Rowe the new Police Commander for Lambeth, Licensing chairs, officers. residents and business people and Councillors .
Tessa Jowell will issue a report on the meeting shortly
CLrs Sharon Malley, Becca  Thackray  , Clare Whelan and Dominic Thorncroft .
Thanks to those who couldn't attend but have been working diligently on this  issue.
 
Please forward any comments to
hernehillforum@btinternet.com.
Please see Herne Hill Society for lots information  and further updates

Licensing Policy Review ( Lambeth)

LAMBETH  LICENSING POLICY REVIEW  OF 2003  ACT
 
further information to follow.
 
(Report No. 464/06-07)
 
Contact for enquiries - John Smith, Licensing Manager: T: 020 7926 6140, E: jsmith5@lambeth.gov.uk.
Minutes:
(Report No. 464/06-07)
 
The Chair suggested that as the policy was subject to consultation with consultees, the report should be deferred to a future meeting.
 
Councillor Sawdon referred the committee to page 32 of the report and sought clarification as to why only one example was given in the report.  In response, the Divisional Director Public Realm confirmed that a draft policy was expected to be produced in July and that consultation would be undertaken with a range of consultees including the public and licensees.  The consultees for the review are set out in the legislation requiring the review.
 
A member of the Herne Hill Society addressed the committee and stated that the Society was not aware of the proposed changes to the licensing policy.  He emphasised that individuals did not know about saturation and opening hours.  Therefore, he suggested that local amenities and societies should be notified.  In response, the Divisional Director emphasised that there was a statutory requirement to review the policy, but this did not provide an opportunity to review individual licences.
 
A discussion ensued regarding consultation and it was AGREED that there should be a full consultation on licensing and that members of all parties should be invited to be involved in developing the new policy.
 
The Lead Scrutiny Officer stated that the Scrutiny Section could help provide resources for example, to assist in arranging a public forum for external consultation, or perhaps pay for consultants if required.
 
The committee NOTED the contents of the report.

LATNIGHT ECONOMY

From
July 20, 2007

Crimewatch

The demon drink and a political spliff

It is too soon to draw firm conclusions about the impact of changes to drinking laws on criminal activity. Early signs in yesterday's Home Office statistics are not encouraging: 26 per cent of antisocial incidents last year had a link with alcohol, compared with 24 per cent the previous year. In addition, more crimes were committed between 6pm and 6am and more occurred later at night. Since the laws were relaxed in the hope that the more liberal approach to drinking would reduce crime, these may be taken as poor results. But the evidence connecting licence law changes with crime remains inconclusive. News from the accident and emergency unit at St Thomas' Hospital in London is more concerning ? 8 per cent of cases were drink-related in March 2006 compared with 2.9 per cent in March 2005. But this research needs widening because of the capital's disproportionate role as a centre of late-night entertainment.

LATE NIGHT ECONOMY

All-night drinking law fuelling rise in street violence and disorder

More than one million people were attacked by drunken thugs last year as the first official analysis of round-the-clock drinking revealed increasing public disorder in the early hours.
Alcohol-fuelled violence rose in the first full year of relaxed licensing laws, with a particular jump in the hours after midnight as clubs and pubs stayed open later.
While crime fell around the traditional 11pm closing time, the British Crime Survey figures indicate that longer licensing hours simply shifted the disorder to the early morning.
When the law was changed the Government suggested that ending the 11pm closing time would result in less violence as people would leave bars at different times. But police have had to deploy more officers to cope with the thousands drinking in town centres after midnight.

LATENIGHT ECOMOMY

British crime  survey  extract from   The Time 19th  July 07
Impact of Licensing Reforms
 
 
A separate analysis of the impact the controversial licensing reforms have had on crime showed an increase in offences during night-time hours in the year after 24-hour drinking was introduced.
There were 940,522 violent crimes and cases of disorder and criminal damage committed from 6pm to 6am in the year after pubs and clubs were given permission to open later, compared with 933,701 in the previous year.
Overall the BCS showed that crime was stable in the year to March, although vandalism was up 10 per cent and violent crime rose by 5 per cent, although the Home Office said the rise was not statistically significant.
There were 101,370 robberies in recorded crime figures for England and Wales - a rise of 3 per cent - the highest level for three years.
On the day that Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, admitted that she had experimented with the cannabis when she was a student, figures showed that drugs offences were up 9 per cent, to 194,300 cases.
They included a 9 per cent rise in possession of cannabis to 130,000 incidents, which Home Office experts said was due to the police handing out more warnings to users following the drug's reclassification to class C.
Possession of other controlled drugs also rose, showing a 12 per cent rise to more than 36,600 cases. The total number of recorded crimes fell by 2 per cent to 5.4 million.
"One of the biggest challenges we face is that public perceptions of crime levels remain high," said Ms Smith.

TREE CULL FOR FAWNBRAKE AVENUE.

There are several issues affecting trees and residents in Fawnbrake Avenue and dialogue is going on between Lambeth and residents.
There are diseased trees, tress breaking up pavements and the old
chestnut of " the trees are causing subsidence .
Lets hope a sensible solution is found. Many of the Victorian trees
have outgrown their location. Smaller trees are often planted as a replacement
Thanks to Councillor Rebecca Thackray who is facilitating this matter.

ROSENDALE ROAD SAFETY MEASURES

ROSENDALE ROAD  SAFETY MEASURES.
 
Jean Bergin   reports  - following a long campaign of lobbying to introduce safety measures in the vicinity of Rosendale Primary school .
Thanks  to Thurlow Park ward Councillor Clare Whelan who has facilitated the process and supported the campaign both as Executive member and opposition spokeswoman.
 
 
Thought I would share my good news and excitement.
Had a meeting this morning with Clare Whelan, Hayden Tuck and Tim Jackson about the outstanding safety issues.
Lambeth are proposing a 20mph limit on Rosendale Rd from Norwood Rd to the South Circular.
To put in cycle friendly speed humps (a new design I believe)
To put speed cushions on the section of Rosendale Rd from Lovelace to Turney Roads which is an emergency vehicle route.
To put in a pedestrian crossing at All Saints Church for the nursery users.
To improve the crossing places at the Turney/Dalkeith/Rosendale roundabout.
And finally to finish the yellow lines and school keep clear markings.
 
I think this is a great result because they have listened and come back with a complete scheme rather than a piecemeal effort. All I have to do is keep up the pressure so it doesn't slip down the priority list. Hayden Tuck said that the planning process and funding applications are about half way through.
 

LIDO OPENS

LIDO  OPENS WITH A SPLASH .........OF RAIN THAT IS.
 
The Brockwell Lido  opened  this morning at 6.45  prompted   with about 30  dedicated swimmers . Over the course of the next three hours about 60  people  had turned up.
 
SWIMMERS  TIPS  bring  no valuables  as there are no lockers in fact be prepare to change    poolside  as the dressing rooms are  a little smaller than previously.
 
MCGLUE &  BEAMISH    are   running the refreshments kiosk  and are open early in the day  so    many people were swimming snacking and then going off to work.
