The Licensing Committee of Islington Council met on Monday 1 June 2026. The agenda for the meeting included formal matters, items for decision, and urgent non-exempt items. The committee was scheduled to discuss the delegation of licensing functions and the appointment of Licensing Sub-Committees for the upcoming year.

Delegation of Licensing Functions

The committee was scheduled to consider the delegation of licensing functions. This item was listed as urgent and non-exempt, with the understanding that any reasons for urgency would be agreed by the Chair and recorded in the minutes.

Appointment of Licensing Sub-Committees

A key item on the agenda was the appointment of the Licensing Sub-Committees for the 2026/2027 period. This is a standard procedural item to ensure the committee can operate effectively throughout the year.

The meeting also included formal matters such as apologies for absence and declarations of interest, as well as a section to consider the exclusion of the press and public if any exempt or confidential information was likely to be discussed.
