To receive the Minutes of the Meeting of the Licensing and Regulatory Committee held on 12 November 2018 (attached, coloured green), and to approve the recommendation contained within.

There is one PART I recommendation to the Council:

LIC 17/18        Gambling Act 2005 – Report following public consultation on review of the Council’s Statement of Gambling Policy (Page no.

The Council first adopted a Statement of Gambling Policy in December 2006. The Council is required to carry out a full review of the Gambling Policy every 3 years, including a consultation with statutory consultees and the public.

The current Policy came into effect on 31 January 2016 and has worked well for the Council as Licensing Authority. The updated Policy, attached at Annexe 1) incorporates revised Gambling Commission Guidance issued in 2015, and there have been no adverse comments received through the public consultation.

The Committee therefore RECOMMENDS that the Council approves the revised Statement of Gambling Policy, to come into effect from 31 January 2019.

Members of the Council wishing to speak on any Part II matters of report must give notice to the Democratic Services Team by midday on Tuesday 11 December 2018.

RESOLVED   that the Minutes of the Licensing and Regulatory Committee held on 12 November be received and noted.

            The Chairman advised that that there was one recommendation from the Committee in Part I for Council consideration, and he had had no requests to speak in relation to Part II of the Minutes.
