Meeting:  Tuesday 21 March 2023 10.00 am - Licensing Sub-Committee

5. Licensing Act 2003: Peckham Rye Park and Common, Peckham Rye, Peckham, London SE15 3UA

  • Councillor Barrie Hargrove - Non Pecuniary - during his time as Mayor of Southwark from September 2020 to May 2022, the Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers was his nominated charity, and during that time he had helped the day centre with a fund raising event at the GALA Festival, purely to fundraise. Since that time and before he or the day centre were aware that he was on the sub-committee, the day centre had sent him an email asking him to support the application on the agenda today, but he had informed them that he was a member of this sub-committee and that his decision would be based only on the information contained in the agenda pack and on the submissions made at this meeting
  • Councillor Renata Hamvas - Non Pecuniary - as she was a ward councillor, and had received a few representations which she had forwarded directly to the licensing team and which were included in the agenda pack. There had been a number of meetings between the organisers of the events and different stakeholder groups, the first one of which she had attended prior to this application being submitted, but had only participated for the first few minutes, as she had stated at the start of that meeting that she would not be able to take part in any discussions in relation to this application. In addition to this, last year, there had been an application by We Are The Fair for an additional three-day event in the summer holidays, to which she had objected, but had withdrawn the objection before the hearing. However, today’s hearing was on a different matter, and she therefore felt that she was in no way prejudiced and would remain as the chair of the meeting
