Minutes:
The Senior Licensing Officer introduced the report and reiterated the legislative requirement to develop, publish and publicly consult upon the Council’s Gambling Act 2005, Statement of Licensing Principles. The current statement had been implemented in 2018, with the proposed statement to be implemented from January 2022, if agreed.
Three consultation responses had been received and were outlined in Appendix 2 to the report and the officer’s response to these had been included within the report.
In response to questions, the Team Leader Contentious & Corporate Governance confirmed that Public Health was not a statutory consultee to the consultation. The Senior Licensing Officer stated that the references to alcohol and drug addition related to the ‘Local Area Profile’, which should be considered when gambling services were provided.
RESOLVED: That
1. The consultation responses received be noted; and
2. Full Council be recommended to approve the draft Gambling Act 2005 Statement of Licensing Principles Policy 2022-2025, as attached at Appendix 1 to the report.
