- licensed premises including pubs, clubs, bars, and restaurants
- licensed taxis and private hire vehicles, drivers, and operators
- gambling premises including betting shops and casinos
- street trading permits
- pavement café licences
Our Licensing section offers advice, guidance, and support to help businesses and individuals to comply with the law.
When we take enforcement action the approach taken and subsequent actions are determined by Wirral Council’s Enforcement Policy.
