LATE TENS FOR WORLD CUP
We have been advised that Devon and Cornwall Police have been planning for the World Cup for the last few months based on the planned events surrounding the World Cup and expected numbers and venues. Their plans have been formulated and cannot be changed at late notice.
If late TENS are submitted for events pertaining to the World Cup, Devon and Cornwall Police have cited that they would have a negative impact on one of the four licensing objectives, namely the Prevention of Crime and Disorder, and that objection will be placed to any such TEN notification.
This is an area outside of the control of the Licensing Authority, but it is wished to provide a level of transparency in respect of the receipt of the above advice. In terms of planning for events The British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) has issued new national guidance to help pubs and bars prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup — with the Institute of Licensing.
