WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE LICENSING BOARD Report by Clerk to the Licensing Board Licensing Board – 4 March 2025 Subject: Update and review of Licensing Board’s Policies and Procedures 1 Purpose 1.1 To inform Members of the proposed review of the Licensing Board’s policies and procedures to make sure that they align with the Licensing Board’s broader equalities objectives as well as considering the needs of the community and licensed trade. 2 Recommendations 2.1 It is recommended that Members:- a) note the need for updated mainstreaming and equality outcomes; b) note and approve the review of policies and procedures; c) agree that the Licensing Board requests that the Licensing Forum forms a working group to support officers in reviewing licensing policies and procedures; and d) note that the outcome of the review will be reported back to future meetings of the Licensing Board and Licensing Forum. 3 Background 3.1 The Licensing Board is responsible for regulating the sale of alcohol and land based gambling activities within West Dunbartonshire. Each licensing regime is underpinned by statutory licensing objectives that set out how licensing policies should be developed and how applications are determined. Members should note that these licensing objectives are not broad public interest aims but instead are tied to activity being licensed. 3.2 When discharging its functions through the aforementioned licensing regimes, the Licensing Board must make sure that their decisions comply with the Equality Act 2010 and in particular, the Public Sector Equalities Duty. The Licensing Board’s responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010 are wide, however, Members will be aware that when exercising a public function they must not do anything that constitutes discrimination, harassment or victimisation of a person with protected characteristics. Similarly the Public Sector Equalities Duty requires that they have due regard to the need to (a) eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under this Act; (b) advance equality of opportunity between persons Item 3 Page 5
Page 6
who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it; (c) foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it. For the avoidance of doubt, the Equality Act 2010 defines protected characteristics as follows:- • age; • disability; • gender reassignment; • marriage and civil partnership; • race; • religion or belief; • sex; and • sexual orientation. 4 Main issues Equality mainstreaming and equality outcomes 4.1 The Equality Act 2010 and Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties)(Scotland) Regulations 2012 requires the Licensing Board to produce an equality mainstreaming and equality outcomes report. Given the narrow remit of the Licensing Board, the details of this report will be incorporated into West Dunbartonshire Council’s report. 4.2 Officers of the Licensing Section and Performance and Strategy team have met and discussed how the Licensing Board can best meet the mainstream equality duty and to identify equality outcomes that work towards meeting the requirements of the equality duty. Review of policies and procedures 4.3 The Licensing Board’s licensing policies and procedures have been developed over time to meet legislative requirements. These policies and procedures will have been prepared to meet legal requirements both in terms of the licensing regime and the wider legal framework that the Licensing Board must work within (including but not limited to the Equality Act 2010). 4.4 Given changes to societal expectations, trade practice, and technological developments, it is good practice that these policies and procedures are reviewed so to evaluate their impact (if any) on persons with protected characteristics and to make sure that they align with the Public Sector Equality Duty so far as permitted by law. So that the Licensing Board can make fully reasoned decisions, it is important that it understands the full impact of its current and proposed policies and procedures on the licensed trade. 4.5 It is proposed that the review will focus on the Licensing Board’s alcohol licensing function. As Members will be aware, the number of gambling premises is small compared to the number of premises licensed for the Page 6
Page 7
sale of alcohol. In relation to the alcohol licensing function, given that the Licensing Board’s statement of licensing policy has recently been reviewed, it is proposed that the review will focus on procedures. Albeit, if any issues are identified with the statement of licensing policy, that will be reported to Members. 4.6 Given that the Licensing Forum’s functions include giving such advice and making such recommendations to the Licensing Board as the Licensing Forum considers appropriate, it is proposed that the Licensing Forum forms a working group that represents its diverse membership. This working group will work alongside officers of the Licensing Section to identify areas of the policies and procedures that require to be considered by the Licensing Board. 4.7 The outcome of this engagement will be reported to a future meeting of the Licensing Board with officers’ suggestions of how policies and procedures could be improved to reflect the findings of the engagement exercise where applicable. Members should note at this stage that matters raised through the exercise may fall outwith the remit of the licensing authority, however, officers will feed that information to the appropriate services or organisations. 5 Options Appraisal 5.1 No options appraisal was required for this report. 6 People Implications 6.1 There are no personnel issues at this stage. 7 Financial and Procurement implications 7.1 No financial or procurement implications. 8 Equalities Impact Assessment (EIA) 8.1 EIA1241: Screened as not relevant. No policies or procedures are being amended. This report proposes to establish a review of the policies and procedures. As part of this review, stakeholders from a diverse range of backgrounds (including those groups representing persons with protected characteristics) will be consulted. This will form the basis for further EIAs. 9 Consultation 9.1 Officers of the Licensing Section will engage with colleagues in the Performance and Strategy team. 10 Strategic Assessment Page 7

Licensing Standards Officers Report LICENSING (SCOTLAND) ACT 2005 PREMISES LICENCE VARIATION APPLICATION PREMISES: WDLBPREM/320 Tenpin, Units 13-17, Britannia Way, Clyde Shopping Centre Clydebank G81 2RZ. PREMISES LICENCE HOLDER: Georgica Limited. The Licensing Standards Officer makes the following comments: 1. Overprovision This application may be contrary to the Licensing Board’s Statement of Licensing Policy; namely Part 4: - Overprovision. For the Boards information these premises are located within IZ02. 2. Licensed Hours The Licensed Hours sought in this application (10 am Monday to Sunday) are contrary to the Licensing Board’s Statement of Licensing Policy; specifically Paragraph 35.1 Early Opening: Where any on-sales type premises wish to open before 11 a.m., the applicant will be required to justify the need for early opening. The applicant will be expected to demonstrate that sufficient measures will be in place to promote the licensing objectives. The Licensing Board – notwithstanding that each application will be considered on its own merits – is of the view that it will be difficult for an applicant to justify a commencement hour prior to 11am outwith the context set out in paragraph 32.3. 3. Children’s Access In the Operating Plan submitted in support of this application it is stated that Children’s access to the premises will be as follows (Q6b); Children and Young Persons are allowed access to all public areas during all opening hours. Children must be accompanied by an adult after 9pm. The Licensing Standards Officer having regard to the Management Plan notes that it is the licence holder’s intention to have a restricted area within the premises to which Children and Young Persons will not have access. It is therefore suggested that the Licensing Board considers whether the wording proposed remains appropraite. As detailed in Section 4 below, the Licensing Standards Officer seeks that the Licensing Board’s Standard Conditions for on–sale premises be applied to this licence. Page 28
Page 29
The Licensing Standards Officer notes that the Premises Licence Holder intends to have Category D Gaming Machines within the premises which will be located within the areas to which Children and Young Persons will have access to, therefore the Licence Holder will require to address the Board as to condition 3 which states; 3. No gaming and/or amusements with prizes machines are to be located in the part or parts of the licensed premises where children and young people are permitted. 4. Conditions I recommend that the following conditions be applied to the licence: Part A – Children and Young Persons Access The holder of the premises licence must make sure that:- 1. Children are supervised at all times by an appropriate adult while on the licensed premises. 2. Children and Young Persons will only be permitted into licensed premises where the primary purpose of allowing them access is to consume a meal or attend a private pre-booked function [or insert reason]. 3. No gaming and/or amusements with prizes machines are to be located in the part or parts of the licensed premises where children and young people are permitted. 4. In the case of events which are to be held exclusively for children, or children and young persons, such as a discotheque, adequate supervision and stewarding arrangements should be in place in relation to children attending the event. 5. Where televisions or video machines are intended to be used in areas where children are permitted, the programmes or video films must be of a type suitable for family and children’s viewing. 6. Toilets should be of a suitable type and standard for children. 7. When meals are sold within licensed premises, a children’s menu shall be available or the menu should clearly state that children portions are available. This would not be satisfied by the provision of for example soft drinks and snacks but would require to be of the plated food variety in addition to any Page 29
Page 30
form of sandwiches etc, which may be available. 8. Electrical sockets within the part of parts of the premises to which children have access should, when not in use, have plug caps thereon. 9. Where open fires or electrical or gas fires or radiators are within part or parts of the premises to which children have access, it is expected that such fires and radiators etc. will be securely guarded.

1. This form is to be used for the conversion of an existing Section 34 gaming machine permit under the Gambling Act 1968, or for a new application, variation or transfer of an alcohol licensed premises gaming machine permit under the Gambling Act 2005. 2. The premises must be licensed under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 to sell alcohol for consumption on the premises. 3. The gaming machines must be located on these licensed premises. 4. A “Premises Licence holder” is a person holding a Premises Licence under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. 5. There is no statutory limit to the number of machines which may be applied for although the Licensing Board has some discretion in this regard. It should also be noted that the Licensing Board can cancel the permit or vary the number of machines if it considers that the gaming is no longer ancillary to the sale of alcohol. 6. The permit’s duration is indefinite as it is linked to the Premises Licence. There is a first annual fee payable within 30 days of the day on which the permit was issued and an annual fee payable before each anniversary of the date of issue of the permit. Failure to pay the annual fee may result in the cancellation of the permit. The annual fee is £50. There are no annual fees payable for 2 machines or fewer. 7. Two types of gaming machines can be located in alcohol licensed premises. These are: • Category C: Maximum stake = 50p/Maximum prize = £35 • Category D: Maximum stake = 10p or 30p non-monetary/Maximum prize = £5 cash or £8 non-monetary 8. All alcohol licensed premises which provide gaming machines for use on the premises must comply with any relevant Code of Practice issued by the Gambling Commission under Section 24 of the Gambling Act 2005. The Gaming Machine Code of Practice for Alcohol licensed premises permits and permissions is available via the Gambling Commission’s website at: http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/ should you be unclear as to the provisions of the code of practice please contact the Gambling Commission. 9. This Licensing Board must notify the applicant of its grant/refusal of the application for a permit as soon as is reasonably practicable after that decision has been made. Page 35

TENPIN: Category C Gaming Machine Management Plan. Tenpin is one of the largest ten-pin bowling providers within the UK operating 55 bowling centres. Our Head Office is based in Cranfield, Bedfordshire (Our Scottish licence holding company is Georgica Limited, Company No 04039562) We have been operating for over 20 years and provide a vast range of family entertainment products for our customers from Bowling, Amusement machines, Laser Tag, Houdini’s Escape Rooms and Karaoke to name but a few. Our mission is to provide Fun, but we are very mindful to ensure all customers are always kept safe. As part of our Amusement offer, we also provide Category C Gaming machines for over 18’s only. To ensure these are only accessed and played by adults only we have implemented the following safeguards. Machines are positioned away from the Family Entertainment Centre (FEC) either within the bar area or close to reception, this ensures we have full visibility via CCTV and control by our staff. The Category C machines are positioned behind a barrier which also has signage to stress they are only to be used by over 18’s only We have implemented the latest Age Verification technology across our Category C gaming machine estate, this is the same software that is deployed across numerous Pub companies within the UK. The customer must pass the algorithm/facial scan checks before gameplay can commence. We also operate a Policy of Challenge 25 in order to prevent under 18s from accessing the Category C products. Where individuals cannot produce ID upon request, they are politely advised that they will not be permitted to play the Category C machines Should any individual repeatedly attempt to access the Category C machines, the person and or their parent/guardian will be advised that the age restriction is a legal requirement and if broken the police will be notified. In cases where an adult member attempts to facilitate, encourage or endorse an underage individual from accessing Category C machines, the adult will receive an oral warning from the Duty Manager and if this re-occurs the individual will be barred from the premises and the matter will be reported to the Gambling Commission and where appropriate the Police. All members of staff are fully trained as part of their induction and receive refresher training in the understanding of, and the strict adherence to the importance of the Licensing objectives Preventing gambling from being a source of crime or disorder, being associated with crime or disorder or being used to support crime Ensuring that gambling is conducted in a fair and open way Protecting children and other vulnerable people from being harmed or exploited by gambling.
