Report ES15069
At its meeting on 14th July 2015 the Committee had approved a draft Statement of Gambling Policy for 2016/19 for public consultation. Four responses had been received, from the Copers Cope Area Residents Association, Bromley Safeguarding Children Board, the association of British Bookmakers (ABB) and Power Leisure Bookmakers (Paddy Power) and these were set out in the report.
The Committee approved the Statement but sought the following amendments –
· Section A.7.1: Information from Operators and Premises License Holders: The paragraph to be amended to allow the Council to seek information from operators/premises license holders when requested rather than once a year.
· Section B.3: Location of Premises: Add a sentence on taking into account age restrictions when considering the impact on children, young or vulnerable people.
· Section B.3 Location of Premises: The paragraph on Risk Profiles being based on factual evidence should be amended to replace the word “should” with “will” and moved to the third paragraph of section B.4: Local Area Profiles.
RESOLVED that, subject to the amendments set out above, the responses to public consultation be noted and Council be recommended to adopt the Statement of Gambling Policy under the Gambling Act 2005 to have effect from 31st January 2015.
