Decision details

Summary of Decision

The Cabinet Member for Children and Public Protection has approved the recommendation to Full Council on 13 November 2024, that the current gambling policy is approved and re-adopted for the next three-year policy period in accordance with Section 349 of the Act.

Reasons for Decision

As the majority of the limited number of respondents to the consultation agree that the existing gambling policy should be readopted and that the current policy is sound, the Cabinet Member recommended that the re-adoption of the policy should be recommended to Full Council for publication.  This will ensure that a decision can be been made on readopting the current gambling policy by Full Council in accordance with the statutory deadline of 30 January 2025.
