Our aim is to play a key role in enforcing alcohol licensing legislation and liaising with operators to ensure that every licensed premise in North Yorkshire complies and promotes the four licensing objectives:

The prevention of crime and disorder
Public safety
The prevention of public nuisance
The protection of children from harm

Under the Licensing Act 2003, it is the local authority which is responsible for administering, granting, suspending and revoking alcohol licences.
