Lancaster City Council is asking the public to help it review its gambling policy.

By law the council has to review its Statement of Gambling Licensing Policy every three years.

As the current version was published in January 2010 a revised version must be in place by January 2013.

A draft version of the revised policy has been produced and is now available for public comment. It can be viewed on the council’s website at www.lancaster.gov.uk/gambling-review.

Alternatively, copies are also available in reception areas at Lancaster Town Hall in Dalton Square, Lancaster, and also at Morecambe Town Hall, Marine Road, Morecambe.

A separate document is also available showing a summary of the proposed amendments to the existing policy and these are reflected in the revised draft.

Any comments should be submitted in writing to Mrs W Peck, Licensing Manager, Lancaster City Council, Town Hall, Dalton Square, Lancaster, or by emailing licensing@lancaster.gov.uk.

The deadline for comments is 24th October 2012.
