Westmorland and Furness Council (24 007 235)
Statement Not upheld Councillor conduct and standards 29-Jan-2025
Summary: Mr X complains about the Council’s decision to agree a licence application to allow an event to take place and the conduct of a councillor at the licensing meeting. It was reasonable to expect Mr X to make representations to the licensing committee and then use a right of appeal to the Courts about the Council’s decision to allow the licence. And we cannot achieve the outcome Mr X is seeking to alter the licence and remove the councillor from future licensing meetings. So, we have ended our investigation into the complaint.
