Licensing
COVID-19 : whilst many services are operating normally, we are still operating under Covid-19 protocols and therefore changes have been made to the Council's licensing processes, including a requirement to submit applications and supporting information electronically to avoid potential delay.
We have prepared a summary (PDF, 172Kb) of the current changes to assist applicants, licence holders and interested parties. More information can be obtained from the Licensing Service at 01695 585015 or licensing.enquiries@westlancs.gov.uk
Where available, COVID-19 guidance for specific business sectors can be found on the relevant pages below, or by visiting Gov.uk
