Every council is now a person in control.
Pair's Martyn's Law Portal, helps councils evidence preparedness across their own estate, and use licensing as a lever for every other qualifying venue.
How many can you evidence right now?
Local authorities have two challenges.
Estate-wide responsibility
Council is the responsible person, or control is passed to an operator. Either way, the Portal helps you evidence that decision cleanly.
Licensing as a lever
Non-compliance is now grounds to refuse or review a licence. Your licensing team has a new tool to drive preparedness across your whole area.
Are you prepared?
