Scrutiny Council Initiative
In November 2005 DCMS invited a small, representative, group of 10 licensing authorities to help us monitor and evaluate the new licensing regime as licensing 'Scrutiny Councils'. The 10 councils participating in the initiative are: Manchester, Taunton Deane, Blackpool, Cardiff, Birmingham, Newcastle, Nottingham, Brighton and Hove, Bristol and Havering.
The Scrutiny Council initiative was formally launched on 25 November 2005 and will run for six months until May 2006. During this time, DCMS officials will visit each Council on a regular basis to collect information and data about the practical implementation of the Act. This information will inform our wider monitoring and evaluation programme and feed into the ongoing review of the licensing guidance.
We will publish brief progress reports on this page following each round of meetings, followed by a full report on the main outcomes of the initiative in June.
