Councillor J Hodson introduced the report of the Director of Development and Regeneration which sought approval of a way forward to facilitate the successful implementation of a series of night markets and other events in Ormskirk Town Centre in conjunction with the Ormskirk Business Action Group and other appropriate community/business organisations.

In reaching the decision below, Cabinet considered the details as set out in the report before it and accepted the reasons contained therein.

RESOLVED  (A)       That the Director of Development and Regeneration, in consultation with the relevant Portfolio Holder, be authorised to submit an application for a Premises Licence under the Licensing Act 2003 and to authorise regulated entertainment and sale of alcohol which would enable the night markets and other themed events in Ormskirk Town Centre to proceed.

(B)       That the Director of Development and Regeneration be authorised to develop a code of conduct under which any night market or other event must operate for agreement with the organising body and to review these as appropriate.
