The Senior Licensing Officer
introduced the report and stated that the Council’s
‘Gambling Act 2005, Statement of Principles 2022-2025’
had been comprehensively reviewed in 2018. The Gambling Commission
had issued guidance in May 2021, however there were no changes
required to the current Statement of Principles in
place.
It was requested that the
current policy be subject to a public consultation between the 27
September 2021 until the 24 October 2021. This would allow a review
of any comments received, to meet the implementation deadline of
January 2022.
RESOLVED: That
1.
The Gambling Act 2005 Statement of Principles
2022-2025, be considered; and
2.
Officers be instructed to carry out the public
consultation as described in the report.
