The jobs that come with tourism are not those that we wish to be encouraged in the area, the poor wages breed further poverty. 1 Overprovision is referred to in Part 4 but it may be helpful if any areas deemed to have overprovisi on were listed in the introduction as not everyone is going to read the whole document. 1 None 1 No - Well covered. 1 I think more licence's for restaurants should be given rather than carry out places 1 Good to see input from health professionals taken into account. Also necessary to assess changes that have taken plce due to Covid. 1 2. Should the Licensing Board refer to any other matters in its introduction? The word cloud requires at least 20 answers to show. No 6 Yes, there should be a minimum of a actual police provision on the ground when looking at the gra nting of licenses in the area. I believe that Balloch does not have the supportive infrastructure to all ow for the number of licenses that it has been granted. 1 Perhaps some information on the role & function of the licensing forum and how to become involve d 1 Nothing obvious 1 Not Presently 1 No - Seems to have all relevant points noted. 1 N/A 1 I would hope that it wouldn’t become a make or break decision for new/existing businesses as how can they compete 1 Equalities legislation is covered but no mention of Modern Slavery and policies related to this whic h has a bearing on all areas but particularly the tourism sector. 1 Response Count
