MLR/18/6 GAMBLING ACT 2005: 'NO CASINO' RESOLUTION PDF 230 KB Corporate Manager – Open for Business
Additional documents: Minutes: 20.1 David Price, Licensing Officer presented Paper MLR/18/6 advising the Licensing and Regulatory Committee of ‘No Casino’ resolutions under section 166 of the Gambling Act 2005.
20.2 The Committee was asked to determine whether to recommend to full Council that a ‘No Casino’ resolution be adopted; or to recommend that a report be brought to full Council in 2021 prior to the next consultation of the Council’s ‘Statement of Principles’ in accordance with the statutory three-yearly review requirement.
20.3 The Licensing Officer responded to questions from Members and confirmed that Mid Suffolk Council has previously held two such votes on this matter in 2006 and 2012. Neither vote had resulted in a ‘No Casino’ resolution being passed.
20.4 During the course of the discussion, Members noted that it was unlikely that the issue would arise as the maximum number of small and large casinos across the country had been allocated.
It was RESOLVED:
That a report be brought to full Council in 2021 prior to the consultation of that year of the Council’s ‘Statement of Principles’ in accordance with the Statutory three-yearly review requirement.
