Introduction
Southwark Council is fully reviewing its gambling licensing policy and we welcome feedback from all stakeholders on the changes we are proposing. The licensing policy sets out how we will make licensing decisions, how new licensed premises are likely to be permitted to operate, and how the needs of residents and businesses will be addressed.
What do we already know?
The Gambling Policy for Southwark is fully reviewed every three years. The current policy is due for renewal in 2022.
What we do not know and need to find out more in detail?
