Local Licensing Forums

Under the new Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 each Council must establish a Local Licensing Forum for their area. Aberdeenshire is divided into three licensing divisions, and, instead of establishing one Local Licensing Forum for the area, the Council established three separate Forums for each licensing division; North, Central and South Aberdeenshire.

The Law and Administration Service is responsible for licensing across Aberdeenshire.
