One of the requirements of the Gambling Act 2005 is for the council to produce a Statement of Gambling Policy setting out how gambling will be regulated in Bristol.
The Gambling Act requires local authorities to review their policy every three years.
The current policy came into force on 31 January 2019.
The Council are required to review and publish a new policy by 31 January 2022.
As part of the review process a draft policy is available for consultation from 24 May 2021 to 15 August 2021 and we would be interested in receiving your comments.
The main changes to the draft policy are to reflect some minor amendments to legislation and wording of paragraphs in line with the updated Guidance For Licensing Authorities published by the Gambling Commission.
Please have a look at the background information and read the draft policy.
If you would like to comment on the changes, please email gamblingpolicy@bristol.gov.uk
Or in writing to:
Licensing team (Temple Street)
Bristol City Council, PO Box 3399 Bristol, BS1 9NE
