LICENCE APPLICATIONS On 31 October 2016 the London Borough of Bexley joined the Licensing Partnership to process and issue licensing applications for Bexley. The Licensing Partnership is a partnership of local authorities comprising London Borough of Bexley, Maidstone Borough Council, Sevenoaks District Council and Tunbridge Wells Borough Council. Central administration for the Licensing Partnership is based at Sevenoaks, with Licensing Officers located at each local authority. The team at Sevenoaks will input applications, process payments, deal with administrative queries and issue licences. The Licensing Officers will liaise with customers regarding compliance, set policies, engage with partner responsible authorities, carry out licensing hearings etc. Any person is welcome to inspect the full details of any of the applications made under the following legislation: • Licensing Act 2003 - Applications for the grant or provisional grant of a Premises Licences or Club Premises Certificates; together with applications seeking a full variation or the review an existing Licence or Certificate. • Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 - Applications for the grant of a Site Licence. • Gambling Act 2005 - Applications for the grant or provisional grant of a Premises Licence; together with applications seeking a full variation or the review an existing Licence. Applications may be viewed on line by the following link: https://www.bexley.gov.uk/services/licensing-and-permits/public-licensing-register Representations may be made to any of the applications. Representations may be for or against an application. To be considered representations must be ‘relevant’ which means that they must relate to a licensing objective or a ground for refusing an application. The Licensing Partnership administration team can provide guidance on how to make representations to each of the different licence types.

The Role of Ward Councillors

Ward Councillors can make representations in writing and at a hearing on behalf of a local resident or business if specifically requested to do so. Furthermore, if asked, they can represent any party who has made relevant representations at a hearing. Also, as an elected member of the Council they can make representations in their own right if they have relevant concerns about any application, regardless of whether the premises is in their ward. There may also be occasions where a ‘Responsible Authority‘ such as the police may wish to ask a Ward Councillor to act as a witness at a hearing. APPLICATIONS PENDING DETERMINATION BY THE COUNCIL’S LICENSING SUB COMMITTEE

Detailed below is a list summarising current applications subject to representations and pending determination by the Council’s Licensing Sub Committee. Hearings, which are open to the public, are held at Bexley Civic Offices. This list is valid as of 5pm Wednesday 20 November 2019

Taking antibiotics when you don’t need them puts you and your family at risk Taking antibiotics encourages harmful bacteria that live inside you to become resistant. That means that antibiotics may not work when you really need them. This puts you and your family at risk of a more severe or longer illness. If you or a family member are feeling unwell, have a cold or flu and you haven’t been prescribed antibiotics, here are some effective self-care ways to help you feel better:

• Ask your pharmacist to recommend medicines to help with symptoms or pain. They can also provide advice on treating minor health concerns and healthy living.

• Get plenty of rest.

• Make sure you or your child drink enough to avoid feeling thirsty.

• Fever is a sign the body is fighting the infection and usually gets better by itself in most cases. You can use paracetamol if you or your child are uncomfortable as a result of a fever.

• Make sure to use a tissue for your nose and wash your hands frequently to avoid spreading your infection to family and friends.

Remember never share antibiotics or keep for later use. Your pharmacist can safely dispose of any unwanted or out-of-date medicines. For more information on antibiotics visit www.nhs.uk/keepantibioticsworking.
