'The approach is intended to address alcohol-related harm in these areas.'
Thirteen areas of Glasgow are set to continue to have near bans for new pubs, off licences and other venues selling alcohol, the city's licensing board has proposed.
The rule means councillors are advised there is a presumption against granting any further alcohol licences in those places. The policy makes it harder for businesses to get permission to sell booze but in some circumstances it may still be possible. People are being invited to have their say on the licensing board policy statement consultation on overprovision by September 27.A spokesman for Glasgow Licensing Board said: “Determining which parts of the city have an ‘overprovision’ of licensed premises is a vital part of our licensing policy statement.
“The pandemic clearly had a major impact on the licensed trade and there is still work to do on how that may have affected alcohol-related harm in overprovision areas. “In the draft policy it is still the case that there is a ‘rebuttable presumption’ against awarding premises licences in an overprovision area.
