The Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 requires each council to establish a Local Licensing Forum. The Licensing Forum represents the views of people concerned with the operation of the alcohol/liquor licensing system in the City of Edinburgh.
The Forum keeps under review the operation of the alcohol licensing system and gives advice and makes recommendations to the Licensing Board. However, it can not give advice or make recommendations on any individual case or the Licensing Board's consideration of any individual application.
The Forum's members are appointed to represent the views of organisations and people in the City of Edinburgh Council area.
