Gambling Act 2005

Under the Gambling Act 2005 (‘the Act’), the Council is the licensing authority and is responsible for licensing and overseeing local gambling establishments. Part of this responsibility is the duty to prepare and publish a statement of the principles (a policy) that the Council proposes to apply in exercising its functions under the Act. The Council’s current Gambling Act policy came into effect on the 31 January 2022 and will cease to have effect on the 30 January 2025. In order to satisfy the specific legal requirements, set down in the Gambling Act 2005, the Council needs to carry out a formal consultation process. The Council has taken the opportunity to revise the content of the policy to reflect the latest guidance issued to licensing authorities by the Gambling Commission. The revision has led to minor amendments that update guidance references. The Council welcomes and encourages all interested parties to provide feedback in relation to the content and format of the policy.

The consultation runs from 22 July 2024 to 23 September 2024. Comments can be sent in writing to the Council at Licensing Darby House, Lawn Central Telford TF3 4JA or by email to LicensingConsultation@telford.gov.uk.

The draft policy can be viewed here or by visiting our offices at: Darby House, Lawn Central Telford TF3 4JA or Southwater One, Southwater Square, Southwater Way, Telford, TF3 4JG by appointment email licensing@telford.gov.uk or call 01952 381818.
