Pubs with licences granted advised to operate without certificates The Publican Published 21st November 2005
Licensees who have had their premises licence granted but do not have their certificates are being advised to operate under the new licensing system.
The advice issued by the British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) has been agreed with Commander Chris Allison from the Association of Chief Police Officers.
The advice comes less than a week before the new Licensing Act comes into force as only 20 per cent of licensees have received their licensing certificates.
The Act requires that the premises licence be displayed on the premises at all times.
The BBPA recommends that premises should display a notice to the effect that: "A licence under the Licensing Act 2003 has been applied for and granted by xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx Council. The premises licence summary will be displayed as soon as it is received from the Council. The Premises Licence Holder is xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx The nominated Designated Premises Supervisor is Mr/Mrs xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx."
