Licensing.

The number of pubs and clubs in Canterbury (many with late night licenses) and the large student population have both helped make Canterbury a very lively place in the evening. Unfortunately, sometimes the evenings can become too lively, with people creating noise, fighting, littering and occasionally vandalising property.

The council and the police can be very responsive to these problems, but only if you contact them and make them aware of specific instances of antisocial behaviour.

  • If a crime is being committed, please call 999
  • If a crime has already been committed, please call 01227 762 055
  • To report antisocial behaviour, please call the Public Safety Unit (PSU) on 01227 289 260

The OHDS actively campaigns against licensed premises (in particular the extension of their trading hours) where we feel that the local community are suffering from the effects of drunken people creating a nuisance when they turn out of pubs and clubs and make their way home (or to yet another late-night establishment). We encourage members to make us aware of concerns regarding such premises, while also endeavouring to inform residents of new license applications or attempts to create new licensed premises. To contact the committee regarding licensing issues please contact: Paul Talbot (Chairman).
