96: Revocation of local alcohol policies

You could also call this:

"How councils can cancel their local alcohol rules and make new ones."

If you are a territorial authority, you can revoke your local alcohol policy using a special consultative procedure. You can either revoke your policy and adopt a new one, or revoke your policy without creating a new one. When you revoke a policy and adopt a new one, the same rules that apply to creating a new policy will apply to you, with some modifications to fit your situation.
