The Gambling Act 2005 requires that Licensing Authorities review their Gambling Policy every three years. As our current policy expires in January 2025 we need to review it and this includes completing a public consultation on the new document.
The Policy must set out the principles which we propose to apply in exercising our licensing functions under the Act. Our Policy document is based on Local Government Regulation’s (LGR) original good practice template with amendments made to include local procedures.
