    Minutes:

    Consideration was given to a report by the Head of Community (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book) to which was attached a revised draft Statement of Principles under the Gambling Act 2005.

     

    The draft Statement had been approved for public consultation by the Licensing Committee at its meeting on 23rd June 2015. Consultation had  taken place over a 10 week period between 26th June and 4th September 2015 and Members were advised that the Statement had now been amended to take into account where appropriate, consultation responses and the draft fifth edition of the Gambling Commissions Guidance to Local Authorities. Member’s attention was also drawn to the addition of a new section within the Statement to reflect the forthcoming introduction of a new Social Responsibility Code.

     

    Having been advised that the current Statement was scheduled to expire on 30th January 2016 and that the Council was required to adopt and publish a new Statement in advance of that date or it would be unable to fulfil its licensing duties, it was

     

    RESOLVED

     

    that the Council be recommended to approve the Statement of Principles under Section 349 of the Gambling Act 2005 as set out in Appendix 1 of the report now submitted, for a period of three years commencing on 31st January 2016.
