The Licensing and Regulatory Subcommittee of Northumberland Council met on Monday 08 June 2026. The meeting's agenda included the consideration of reports from the Cabinet Member for Public Safety.

Reports of the Cabinet Member for Public Safety

The subcommittee was scheduled to review three cases, identified by case numbers 080626/468, 080626/469, and 080626/470. These reports were presented as part of Part II of the agenda, indicating that the press and public were expected to be excluded from these discussions. The exclusion was proposed under Section 100A (4) of the Local Government Act 1972, due to the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Part I of Schedule 12A of the Act. The justification for this exclusion was that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosure. The specific paragraph of Part I of Schedule 12A cited for this exclusion was paragraph 1.

The reports themselves were contained within pages 9 to 16, 17 to 22, and 23 to 28 of the public reports pack1.
