Licensing and Enforcement

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, North Dorset District Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Freedom of Information Officer,

I would greatly appreciate if you could answer the following requests for me:
1) Could you please let me know the licensing department’s budget in 2017-2018?
2) What is the local authority’s policy or internal guideline on the investigation and prosecution of companies operating without an appropriate House to House charitable collection licence?
3) Could you please let me know (in Excel format) when and how many prosecutions the council pursued against which companies or charities found guilty of carrying out a House to House charitable collection without an appropriate licence since 2010?

Thanking you in advance.

Kind Regards,
