Renfrewshire Council

In terms of Section 10 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (the Act), local authorities are required to establish a local licensing forum (the Forum), the purpose of which is to keep under review the operation of the Act in the Forum's area and, in particular the exercise by the Licensing Board of its functions.

In addition, the Forum is required to provide such advice and make such representations to the Licensing Board in relation to those matters as the Forum considers appropriate

Renfrewshire Council has agreed that the licensing forum for the Renfrewshire area will have 12 members consisting of the following:

• 1 x Licensing Standards Officer
• 1 x Police Scotland representative
• 1 x Young Person representative
• 3 x Licensed Trade representatives
• 2 x Health Board representatives (including Alcohol & Drug Partnership)
• 1 x Children's Services representative
• 3 x Local Resident representatives

There are currently three vacancies for Licensed Trade representatives.
