Overview

This consultation is being carried out to help inform the Council in considering if there are areas in the Scottish Borders where drinking alcohol in a public place should not be allowed.

Why your views matter

Scottish Borders Council works with the Local Licensing Board to meet the 5 licensing objectives as set out in the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. The 5 licensing objectives are:

  • Preventing Crime and Disorder
  • Securing Public Safety
  • Protecting and Improving Public Health
  • Preventing Public Nuisance
  • Protecting Children and Young Persons from Harm

We would like your help to identify if there are any areas in the Scottish Borders where drinking alcohol in a public place should not be allowed.
