Report of the Director of Built Environment

Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of the Director of Built Environment on the Council’s adoption of a new model byelaw governing acupuncture, tattooing, semi permanent skin colouring, cosmetic piercing and electrolysis and the consequent revocation of the Council’s existing byelaws covering this activity.

 

The report indicated that to ensure that the new byelaw could be legally enacted, the Council had to ensure that it had adopted the latest technical and legal definitions of the various cosmetic treatments and as such, the report proposed a technical resolution to demonstrate that the provisions of Sections 14 to 17 of Part VIII of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 applied within the Borough of Sefton.

 

The report outlined the procedural steps for the adoption of the new model byelaw, which was to be called ‘Byelaws for Acupuncture, Tattooing, Semi Permanent Skin Colouring, Cosmetic Piercing and Electrolysis’.  One of the steps outlined in the report was the requirement for Council’s approval of the byelaws which would be considered at its meeting on 27 June 2013. The text for the proposed new byelaw was set out in Appendix B to the report.

 

Mr T Wood, Environmental Health (Commercial) Manager presented the report and answered questions thereon.

 

RESOLVED: That

 

(1)

the report be noted; and

 

(2)

the recommendation for the Council’s adoption of the proposed new byelaw set out in Annex B to the report, that the provisions of Sections 14 to 17 of Part VIII of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 apply within the Borough of Sefton, be endorsed.
