Report a licensed premises

We'll investigate reports about licensed premises when:

• there is a breach of the conditions of the licence
• when a premises appears to be unlicensed
• the problems are persistent and severe

In many cases, your report may be best handled by other teams within the council or our partners, for example:

• under-age sales are generally investigated by Trading Standards
• noisy premises are usually investigated by Environmental Health, but could also involve our Anti-Social Behaviour team and the police
• counterfeit goods may be dealt with by trading standards, police and HM Revenue and Customs

If you believe your concern relates to a breach of licensing conditions, you can report these to us.

In order for us to investigate your concern, you'll need to provide us with:

• your contact details
• the name and address of the premises
• supporting evidence, such as a diary of incidents that occur

If you're still experiencing ongoing problems with licensed premises and have tried other ways to resolve this, you may be able to request a review of a premises licence.

If you need any help reporting a possible breach, contact the alcohol and entertainment licensing team.
