Dear Mr Lekkas

Request for Information

Thank you for your request for information dated 11 June 2020 (received by the Council that same day) which has been passed to me for attention.

You have requested the following information:

Please may I have a list of the localities of all current registered “alcohol licenced” premises (on and or off-sales) for “Angus”?
The Register of Licensed Premises is currently stated as being under review, and as such not otherwise accessible

The Council is not aware of any technical difficulties with the online register. If you continue to have problems please provide us with a screenshot so that we can investigate this further.

With regard to the information requested, it is routinely published on the Council’s website as part of the Licensing Register and as such it is technically exempt from release in terms of Section 25 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002. However, in order to be more helpful to you the relevant register is accessible through the following hyperlink: https://licensing-register.angus.gov.uk

I hope that this information is of some help to you. Please note that the information contained in this reply is believed to be accurate as of today's date (unless otherwise indicated) but no warranty is given. Further, Angus Council does not accept liability for any loss, injury or damage which arises from the use of the information contained in this reply either by you or by any other party. Please refer to the information set out below which explains your right to complain if you are unhappy with how the Council has dealt with your request. If you have any queries, please contact me on 01307 491992 or e-mail [Angus Licensing Board request email]

Yours sincerely

Martin Friedrich
