Decision:
That the proposals for the renewal of the Council’s Gambling Act 2005 policy be noted.
Minutes:
The Community Protection Manager introduced a report to inform Members about the renewal of the three year Gambling Policy which will cover the period between 2013 – 2016.
Flintshire County Council had been administering and enforcing the requirements of the Gambling Act since it became operational in 2007. In light of this, the Council was not minded to depart significantly from the existing Policy document apart from updating any factual information which had changed.
The legislation required a consultation process to be undertaken which would be initiated in September with responses requested by November 2012. The responses would be summarised together with the view of the Licensing Section and the final draft Policy would be presented to a future Licensing Committee meeting for consideration and approval.
RESOLVED:
That the proposals for the renewal of the Council’s Gambling Act 2005 policy be noted.
