Making a complaint (about licensed/unlicensed activities)

Generally we do not investigate anonymous complaints. The reasons are:

  • Often we may need clarification or extra information in order to enable us to carry out an investigation. It is therefore essential that we are able to contact the complainant.
  • They can be malicious and/or without foundation, and are simply made in order to inconvenience or harass the person/business complained of.

If making a complaint please ensure that you provide the following information:

  • If it is about an unlicensed business - the full name and address of the business, and why do you think that they should be licensed.
  • If it is about a licensed premises - the full name and address of the business, a description of your complaint including any relevant dates.

To make a complaint about licensed or unlicensed activities, please use our online form.
