When do you need an 'Other' licence?
Local authorities have a statutory responsibility to improve, protect and promote public health, including the registration and inspection of a number of different types of premises such as:
- Hairdressers and Barbers (Health (Hairdressers) Regulations 1980)
- Funeral Directors and Mortuaries (Health (Burial) Regulations 1946)
- Offensive Trades (Health Act 1956)
- Mobile and Travelling Shops, Hawkers and Itinerant Traders (Bylaws)
Operators of any of the above are required to comply with the relevant regulations. Council's Environmental Health Officer can provide more information on these requirements.
