Review of Trafford's Statement of Licensing Policy 2026-2031

Overview

Under the Licensing Act 2003, Trafford Council must produce a Statement of Licensing Policy at least every 5 years. Licensing in this case means alcohol, most forms of public entertainment, club premises and late-night refreshment (food served any time after 11pm and before 5am). It also includes temporary event notices (TENs) which can be applied for by licensed venues, other businesses and members of the public.

Why your views matter

Trafford Council must publish an updated Statement of Licensing Policy by January 2026. This consultation is a proposal to extend the current Statement of licensing policy and Trafford Council is keen to hear your views on the proposed new policy.
