VI COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Blair Finlay advised that a final version of the tool kit Alcohol licensing in your community has been produced to help anyone who would like to say how alcohol impacts on their community. The resource is a useful tool which explains how the licensing process works in Scotland, and provides some practical tips to help people who want to get involved,
Nataliya Comerford from ADP is planning to provide input at some of the upcoming community councils and forums to explain more about the toolkit, as well as piloting with different groups in the City.
A copy of the toolkit for members to look at is attached. Any feedback/comments should be sent to Blair Finlay (blair.finlay@dundeecity.gov.uk).
