Why did the SIA chose Hampshire and the IOW to run the pilot / start up?
A. Hampshire and the IOW are ideally suited because it has both urban and rural areas with a rich mixture of licensed premises. We run the start up to: ensure that transition fromlocal authority to SIA licences was seamless; to minimise disruption to door supervisors, employers and the industry; to rigorously test technology and application process; and toassess levels of training and competency skills.
