The council's Public Protection Team aims to ensure that the county borough is a healthy, safe and fair place for people to live and work, with reducing levels of crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour. We take steps to raise awareness and work closely with local traders to ensure that they understand what the law requires of them and that they comply with all of their legal obligations.
One of our key tasks is to expose and bring before the courts those individuals and businesses we discover acting illegally. We do not take the decision to prosecute lightly but when appropriate we will take action to provide protection to the public and to maintain a 'level playing field' for legitimate businesses to trade in the county borough.
We will also act against alcohol sellers who are in breach of their conditions of licence or are failing to uphold the objectives of the Licensing Act, and other legislation, by calling for a review of the licence by the Licensing Committee.
In order to help legitimate businesses and provide information to consumers we have produced lists of recent prosecutions. The lists identify: -
It is information which both consumers and traders alike may find of interest.
When reading the details of those prosecuted it should be remembered that some of the offences do not come to light immediately and could have been committed a number of years previously. Where a licence has been reviewed it may be subject to appeal and the most up to date information is included.
This information is made available for a limited period in order to promote the openness, transparency and accountability of the criminal justice system to the people it serves.
The information is made available solely on the understanding that it is for the individual use of the person who has accessed the page. The information on this page must not be stored, recorded, republished or otherwise processed without explicit agreement of Caerphilly County Borough Council.
