There were 8 consultation responses from individuals, these are set out in the report in the attached report
Seven respondents were not satisfied with the current policy. Of these, four wanted restrictions of the number of gambling premises in the Borough, but licensing authorities have no powers to limit the number of gambling premises in their area or to prohibit them altogether
Two respondents wanted more done to protect children and one said that the policy could go further to protect people from gambling addiction. There has been some strengthening of the policy in relation to protecting children based on the input of Public Health, as well as the existing requirements of paragraph 2.13.4. of the policy. There are detailed provisions to protect vulnerable people, including problem gamblers, in paragraph 2.13.6 of the policy
As well as this public consultation, the Gambling Act Policy Review was consulted on with statutory consultees and other interested parties. The full results of the consultation, and the resulting changes to the policy will be reported to the RBWM Licensing Panel on Monday 15 April, details of which are at https://rbwm.moderngov.co.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=143&MId=9484&Ver=4
