Contact: Mrs C Allison 388010 Additional documents: Minutes: Consideration was given to a report by the Head of Legal and Democratic Services (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book) to which was attached a draft Statement of Principles under the provisions of the Gambling Act 2005.
The current Statement had been approved by the Council on 2nd December 2009 and under the requirements of the Act must be reviewed at least every three years.

RESOLVED
(a) that the draft Statement of Principles as set out in the appendix attached to the report now submitted be approved for public consultation;
(b) that the Head of Legal and Democratic Services be authorised to make any amendments to the draft Statement that are considered necessary as a result of any comments received from the public consultation exercise or arising from any new guidance issued to licensing authorities by the Gambling Commission; and
(c) that the revised final draft be submitted to the Licensing Committee on 23rd October 2012 for endorsement to the Cabinet and Council to come into effect on 31st January 2013.
