be engaged on the day before that door supervisor starts his/her
duties.
-
The Register must be kept on the premises at all
times and be produced for inspection at any time on request by an
authorised officer of the Council or a police officer.

CCTV will be installed and maintained at the
premises. Cameras will be placed in
positions agreed with the Licensing officer of the Local
