NEW Statement of Licensing Policy - Consultation Period Extended to 15 November 2023

Shetland Islands Area Licensing Board is consulting on a new Statement of Licensing Policy.  The policy is intended to set out how the Board will regulate the sale of alcohol to the public and how it deals with licensing applications.  It must include a statement as to the extent to which the Board considers there to be overprovision of licensed premises within any part of Shetland.  The current policy states there is no overprovision.

If you have a view or wish to make comments on the draft statement, see link below, please send them to the Board at licensing@shetland.gov.uk before the closing date of 15 November 2023
