Gambling Policy

The Act sets out the procedures for regulating the way that we carry out the gambling functions. Every three years we must determine and publish a statement of our gambling policy.

The policy must promote the following licensing objectives:-

  • Protecting children and vulnerable people from being harmed or exploited by gambling;
  • Preventing gambling from being a source of crime or disorder, being associated with crime or disorder, or being used to support crime; and
  • Ensuring that gambling is conducted in a fair and open way.

A policy for the 2010-2013 period was prepared and following extensive consultation a final document was approved by the Council.  A copy of the latest policy is available below: -
