The Council is required to produce a Gambling Act 2005 Statement of Principles on which it will base its decisions. The production of the policy document requires the Council to undertake a period of public consultation which ended on 18 October 2024. This report provides the Licensing Committee with a draft of the final revised document.

 

Minutes:

Members considered the Gambling Act 2005 – Statement of Principles 2024 report presented by Michelle Bishop.

 

Councillor Miscandlon asked if the Gambling Commission had given any  indication of when they might provide an update regarding their proposed review of gambling regulation. Michelle Bishop responded that there was no firm update due to the recent change of central government but agreed to keep members informed as and when she received any news.

 

Proposed by Councillor Miscandlon, seconded by Councillor Murphy and AGREED to recommend the Gambling Act Statement of Principles Policy 2025-2028 be referred to Council for approval.
