Urgent Item - Possible Review Panel on Alcohol Abuse.
Minutes:
The Commission
considered this matter, the Chairman having decided it was of an urgent nature,
in view of concerns expressed about the impact of alcohol abuse on individuals
and communities. He advised the Commission that his view was there would be
merit in establishing a Panel to look at the responses of the County Council
and other partners to this issue.
Some members of the
Commission whilst noting the concerns raised were of the view that it would be necessary
for the Commission to receive a briefing paper on the work currently being
undertaken, including the work by District Council’s as part of their licensing
role, prior to considering the merits or otherwise of establishing a Panel.
RESOLVED
That
officers be asked to
submit a report to the next meeting of the Commission outlining the role of and
work undertaken by the various partners on this issue.
