A new licensing officer has been appointed by Cheshire Police to help support Chester's night-time economy and manage pub and bar licensing applications in the city centre.
Michala Kellard has stepped into the role after nine years as a response officer and will now work closely with pubs, bars, restaurants and nightclubs.
The job will also see Michala working in partnership with key organisations such as CH1ChesterBID, Cheshire West and Chester Council, Chester Pubwatch and other local groups, promoting safety and helping to maintain the city's recently secured Purple Flag status.
Michala said: "I'm thrilled to be stepping into a new role within the city centre and I think it's a really exciting time to be involved in promoting and protecting the reputation of Chester's day and night-time economy. I've worked in the city for almost a decade and I'm also a local resident, so I've built up a lot of knowledge of the challenges and opportunities that exist at a local level and will be using all of that experience to help me in this new role.”
The role of licensing officer has been established in Chester city centre for several years and Michala's appointment follows the retirement of Pete Goring, who previously occupied the role for more than a decade.
