Minutes:

Under the Gambling Act 2005 a statutory review needed to be carried out every few years on the Statement of Principles.  The draft policy was being presented to Committee for confirmation and a consultation of 12 weeks with the trade would take place before being presented to Full Council later in the year.  The only change to the Policy was the removal of the name Publica and replaced with Cotswold District Council.

 

There were queries from Members relating to the reference to shared partnership working; this was being taken out as the Policy was to be identified as Cotswold District Council; the effective date at the end of the document should have been 31 January 2022, when the consultation exercise had taken place with the trade; consultation would take place with GAM Care, Citizens Advice Bureau, the community partnership team within the Council, in order for them to forward the consultation to the groups they work closely with, Parish and Town Council, Gloucestershire Police and a list of statutory consultees.

 

RESOLVED that following consideration of the draft Statement of Principles at Annex A to the report, a consultation exercise to seek the views of the trade and relevant stakeholders on the revised Policy be approved.
