Scotland - West Lothian Licensing Board festive policy 2016/17

Following our previous article about West Lothian Licensing Board consulting on its 2016/17 Festive Policy, the Board has approved premises to have the benefit of later hours without need for formal application in certain circumstances.

Premises will have the benefit on one extra hour trading subject to the following:

• Nightclub premises  - on licensed sales extended to a maximum of 04.00 on 16, 17, 23-27, 30-31 December 2016 and 1-3 January 2017; and
• Premises other than nightclubs - on licensed sales extended to a maximum of 02.00 on 16, 17, 23-27, 30-31 December 2016 and 1-3 January 2017.

Off-sales hours remain unchanged.

If you require extensions outwith the policy then an application will be required.
