Falkirk Council's licensing board agreed 'practical and sensible' steps to tighten up procedures in Falkirk's licenced premises
Pubs, clubs and shops in Falkirk that sell alcohol will be expected to have people trained to use and retrieve images from CCTV systems as a condition of their licences.
It is already policy that all premises must have CCTV to be given a licence but the change makes clear that premises licence holders must ensure that images from the CCTV system are made available to the council's licensing standards officers or to Police Scotland if requested. They add that the Board "may take a dim view of any unnecessary delay in providing CCTV footage once it has been requested".
These include emphasising that children and young people should not be in a licensed on-sales premise after 10 pm and licensees will have to "make a full and proper case" to the board if they want to depart from the policy.
