Councillor Mortimer, the Chairman of the Communities, Housing
and Environment Committee, advised the Council that the Committee,
at its meeting held the previous day, considered an updated version
of the Gambling Act 2005 Statement of Licensing
Principles. It was a statutory
requirement for the Council to have a current Statement of
Licensing Principles in place. The
Statement had been amended in response to comments received during
a consultation exercise and had been endorsed by the Communities,
Housing and Environment Committee and the Licensing
Committee.
It was
then moved by Councillor Mortimer, seconded by Councillor
Powell, that the amended Gambling Act
2005 Statement of Licensing Principles 2019-2022, attached as
Appendix 1 to agenda item 19, be adopted by the Council.
RESOLVED:
That the amended Gambling Act 2005 Statement of Licensing
Principles 2019-2022, attached as Appendix 1 to agenda item 19, be
adopted.
