Review of Gambling Act 2005 Statement of Principles - Public Consultation

We are consulting on the update of the Council's Gambling Act 2005 Statement of Principles 2025-28 and would like your feedback.

The Gambling Act 2005 requires the Council as licensing authority to prepare and publish a Statement of Principles every three years. The existing Statement of Principles was published in January 2022 and is due for review by January 2025.

We want to consult with our residents, workers and visitors to the borough, local businesses, associated trade bodies, responsible authorities and other stakeholders, to hear your views on the draft statement. (PDF, 2 MB)

There are no changes in the draft to the current statement.

Any comments can be submitted by email to: regulatoryservices@guildford.gov.uk or in writing to:

Guildford Borough Council
Licensing Team
Millmead House
Millmead
Guildford
GU2 4BB

The consultation ran from 11 November for 4 weeks and then we considered all the responses and amended the draft as appropriate. The Council's Licensing Committee reviewed the updated policy on 15 January 2025 and a summary of responses is available on our website.
