EXTRACT OF MINUTE OF PLANNING, PROTECTIVE SERVICES AND LICENSING
COMMITTEE HELD ON 18 OCTOBER 2023 
* 4. CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL IN DESIGNATED PLACES BYELAWS 
In terms of Section 201 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, byelaws require to
be reviewed not later than ten years from them coming into force and every 10 years
thereafter. 
A report advising on a review of the Byelaw prohibiting consumption of alcohol in
designated places in Argyll and Bute which was due for review in 2024 was considered. 
Decision 
The Committee agreed to: 
1. note the position with regards to the review of the Byelaw prohibiting consumption of
alcohol in designated areas in Argyll and Bute which was due for review in 2024; and 
2. recommend to the Council that no change to the byelaw was required at this time, in
the knowledge that should there be any changes in circumstances that a formal review
could take place at any point before the next period of review subject to adherence to
Scottish Government Guidelines and their consequent approval and confirmation.
