The Licensing Committee of Greenwich Council met on Wednesday 27 May 2026. The meeting was to establish and appoint members to Licensing Sub-Committees for the 2026/27 period.

Appointment of Licensing Sub-Committees 2026/27

The Licensing Committee considered the establishment of Licensing Sub-Committees and the appointment of members to serve on them for the 2026/27 period. This administrative process is necessary to ensure the committee can effectively discharge its functions under the Licensing Act 20031. The report presented to the committee outlined the requirement to establish these sub-committees, with each consisting of three members who must have received appropriate training. The proposed membership for these sub-committees was detailed in Appendix 1 of the report. The committee was to consider the proposed nominations to enable the Licensing Committee to fulfil its statutory obligations. The agreed sub-committee membership, if approved, will be published on the Council's website.


  1. The Licensing Act 2003 is the primary legislation governing the sale and supply of alcohol, regulated entertainment, and late-night refreshment in England and Wales. It sets out the framework for licensing authorities to grant and regulate licences.
