Gambling policy consultation

Under the Gambling Act 2005, the council is required to publish a gambling policy setting out how it will regulate gambling premises in the borough every three years.

Our current gambling policy expires in 2022 and we need to publish a new three-year policy. The current policy has been reviewed and updated with greater emphasis being placed on using local area profiles to influence decisions about licence applications.

At the same time as adopting the gambling policy the council will need to renew its resolution to not issue any casino licences in the next three years.

Let us know what you think

Please let us know what you think about the draft gambling policy, by emailing us with a response to the following questions:

• Do you support Islington’s “no casino” policy?
• Do you have any comments about the policy and gambling activities in Islington?

Have your say

The responses will be taken into account before a final decision is made and the policy adopted by Council by January 2023
