The Gambling Act 2005  requires that all applications for licences to to gamble be reviewed by Responsible Authorities, of which the County Council, as Social Care Services Authority, is one.
We then have to look at the applications from our perspective as the body responsible for protecting children from harm.

Thus all licensing applications will come to the Department's Designated Officer. The Designated Officer will review and make representation where it is felt necessary (or when allowed).

Any concerns about the operations of premises in Cambridgeshire should be reported to the local licensing authorities listed in the Information document  or to the Designated Officer via the email link listed to the right.
