Gambling Act policy (Statement of Principles)

North Kesteven District Council is now consulting on a review of our Gambling Policy (Statement of Licensing Principles). The Gambling Act 2005 requires each licensing authority, in respect of each three-year period, to determine its policy with respect to the exercise of its licensing functions, and to publish a statement of that policy (a “licensing statement”) before the beginning of the period.

The current North Kesteven District Council statement was drawn up adopted by the Authority in January 2022.  We are now required to conduct a period of public consultation on the revisions to the statement of licensing principles, due to be adopted in January 2025.

The draft policy is available from the downloads section on this page. Details of the amendments are show in red font. 

Comments can be submitted by email to licensing@n-kesteven.gov.uk or by post to the Councils Licensing Team, Kesteven Street, Sleaford NG34 7EF.

The consultation runs until 9 August 2024, the final policy will be considered for adoption by the full Council in December 2024 for re publication on 31 January 2025.
