Purpose

The Gambling Act 2005 requires Torbay Council,
under its role as Licensing Authority, to review and publish a
‘Statement of Principles’ (the Gambling Policy), every
three years. The current Statement was published on 31 January 2022
and therefore, it must be reviewed, consulted upon and
re-published, on or before 30 January 2025.

Decision

That
the draft Gambling Statement of Principles 2025 to 2028 (as set out
at Appendix 1 to the submitted report), be launched for public
consultation.
