Summary

The Dorset Council's Licensing Committee meeting on May 30, 2024, was brief and focused on routine matters. The main topics discussed were the approval of the previous meeting's minutes and the appointment of licensing subcommittees.

Approval of Previous Meeting's Minutes

The minutes from the meeting held on November 28, 2023, were approved without any objections. Councillor Derek Beer, the chair, confirmed that the minutes were accepted by the committee members present.

Appointment of Licensing Subcommittees

Aileen Powell, the licensing team leader, introduced the report on the appointment of licensing subcommittees. This is an annual report that follows each full annual council meeting. The subcommittees are responsible for hearing applications from taxi drivers, premises licenses, and other related applications. The subcommittees are organized into five groups of three members each. The report also included relevant sections from the council's constitution outlining the delegations.

The committee approved the report without any questions. A proposal for acceptance was made and seconded, and the committee voted in favor.
