You must give notice within 2 working days to the licensing committee and the police. You give notice to the police station nearest to your premises or the licensing committee’s office. You do not have to give notice if you appoint a temporary manager or acting manager for 48 hours or less.

If you appoint a temporary manager or acting manager, the licensing committee can tell you they do not approve within 5 working days. They will send a copy of their notice to the police. If the licensing committee does not approve, you must end the appointment within 5 working days. You can look at s 130 for more information. The licensing committee and police need to know about changes to your management.
