Gambling Policy Consultation 2018

Closed 11 Jan 2019

Opened 30 Nov 2018

Overview

Section 349 of the Gambling Act 2005 requires licensing authorities to publish a Statement of the Principles that they propose to apply in exercising their functions under the Act, for a three year period.

Why your views matter

The Gambling Act 2005 requires the Statement of Principles to be reviewed every three years. 

There have been no significant changes to regulations issued by the Secretary of State or guidance issued by the Gambling Commission that materially affect the current Statement of Principles. The Licensing Board does not propose to make any significant changes, and for these reasons it is proposed that the Statement of Principles will remain relatively unchanged for the forthcoming period until the end of January 2022.. 

The Board proposes to carry out separate work in 2019 on preparing a Local Area Profile.

What happens next

A report on the responses to this consultation wll be presented to the Licensing Board.
