The Central Council for Physical Recreation (CCPR) is campaigning to reduce the cost and impact of the new Licensing Act on sport and recreation clubs.
The CCPR seeks a fairer licensing fee structure that recognises the unique role that sports clubs serve in the community and the contribution they make to a number of government objectives. The CCPR believes that Government is capable of devising a licensing fee scheme that recognises the essential differences between not-for-profit sport and recreation clubs and commercial drinking venues, and accommodates this difference in fee scales.
For more information on the CCPR's campaign and to view the evidence they submitted to the Independent Licensing Fees Review Panel, which suggests that sports and recreation clubs are being badly affected by the fees, please click here.
