The Licensing (2003 Act) Sub-Committee of Newham Council was scheduled to meet on Wednesday 24 August 2022. The agenda indicated that the committee would review a current licence for a local establishment and consider excluding the press and public for specific items.

Review of Royal Standard Licence

The committee was scheduled to review the current licence for the Royal Standard, located at 116 Albert Road, North Woolwich, E16 2NQ. This review would involve examining the licence conditions and operational aspects of the establishment.

Exclusion of Press and Public

The agenda also indicated that the committee would consider a resolution to exclude the press and public from specific parts of the meeting. This would be done in accordance with Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985. The reason for this exclusion would be the potential disclosure of exempt information, as defined in Part I of Schedule 12A to the Act. This measure is intended to ensure that sensitive information is handled appropriately during the meeting.
