• objected to applications to remove noise and customer management conditions from Sambuca restaurant on the Quayside and noise management conditions from Bar Loco on Leazes Park Road.

• withdrew an objection that I had made to a new licence for a restaurant in the Groat Market after they agreed to change their closing time to 1am, which is within the framework of core hours set out in the Licensing Policy.
• supported residents who are having problems with their landlords.
