Alcohol and Entertainment (Licensing Act 2003)
Cheshire East Council is responsible for licensing the sale of alcohol, provision of regulated entertainment and late night refreshment.
Statement of licensing policy
The Licensing Act 2003 requires that each licensing authority writes, consults on and publishes a Statement of Licensing policy (PDF, 611KB). This policy shows how Cheshire East Council will deal with applications in order to promote the four licensing objectives:
- the prevention of crime and disorder
- public safety
- the prevention of public nuisance
- the protection of children from harm

You can see guidance for local residents and businesses with making representations under the Act in our making representations pages.

Licensing registers
We are in the process of migrating all our data to a new online register. While this is happening, both registers are available.
We are working towards providing the Public Register that holds all information on licences and certificates online.
If you have a specific query about a licence and would like an extract from the public register please call the Council’s Customer Service Department on 0300 123 5015 to order a copy. The fee for this service is £10.50 per entry.
