Free regional events for councillors

Examples will be drawn from licensing pubs and clubs, taxis, and street trading but the principles will apply to all forms of licensing; including that for gambling, scrap metal dealers, and discretionary activities such as tattooists and sunbeds.

Delegates will have access to a range of councillor handbooks, case studies and the new LGA e-training module on regulation throughout the day. LGA staff will also be on hand to answer questions and provide advice.
