Background and Purpose:
The Council, as the licensing authority, is required to publish a new Statement of Gambling Policy for the borough at least every three years. We are consulting on a draft version of the new policy.
The Statement of Gambling Policy 2022-2025 (‘Gambling Policy’) provides guidance and sets out expectations as to how gambling premises will be managed and regulated in Lambeth. Our current policy was adopted in 2019 and we are now consulting on a proposed new Gambling Policy for the borough. The three-year Policy will take effect from January 2023 onwards, and updates the existing Policy.
The Gambling Policy covers:
• Issuing premises licenses;
• Preliminary approval of proposed premises;
• Regulating gambling premises activities; and
• Receipt and endorsement of Temporary or Occasional Use Notices for infrequent betting and gaming
You can view our Licensing Committee Report, Draft Statement of Gambling Policy 2022-2025 and Summary of Changes to help you have your say.
Next steps
We will publish a report setting out the feedback and comments we received from the consultation, and how these have been considered and reflected in the new Gambling Policy.
The council keeps the policy statement under constant review and, from time to time, may commission research to inform changes to policy.
