• ANNEX 2 - CONDITIONS CONSISTENT WITH THE OPERATING SCHEDULE

   

  General

        The types of regulated entertainments proposed re-instate and then enhance the normal pub and family entertainments that were previously unregulated, with the benefit to enhance the local facilities for social entertainment and reduce the focus on alcohol.

  The prevention of crime and disorder

        SIA door control will be employed Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings from 19.30 hours until close.

        Providing a 30 minute drinking extension of opening hours after the end of the sale of alcohol will promote this objective as the last drink will be consumed less quickly, with access to the pubs toilet facilities.

        The DPS will be a member of the Carlisle Pubwatch so long as it exists.

        New staff will be trained in drugs awareness at their induction following recruitment.

        Not less than five working days written notice will be provided to Police, if they require it, when "Events Days" are planned.

   

  Public safety

        CCTV has already been installed.  Tapes will be kept for 28 days.

  The protection of children from harm

        The restrictions set out in the Licensing Act 2003 will apply.

        Photographic proof of age will be required to be shown by anyone seeking to purchase alcohol who appears to be under 20 years of age.
