Important announcement

Unforeseen operational resource challenges over the weekend mean that our food waste collection service is suspended today, Monday 3 November.

If your food waste bin was due to be emptied today, please take in your bin and present on the next collection day, Monday 10 November.

Green bin collections in a small number of streets in the Lenzie, Kirkintilloch and Bearsden area are also affected. If your green bin has not been emptied today, please leave it on the kerbside for collection tomorrow, Tuesday 4 November.

Our teams will be working hard to minimise the impact, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

    Apply for Gaming Machines Licence

    The Council is responsible for the processing of all licence applications including Gaming Machines.

    Automatic Entitlement to two machines

    Section 282 of the Gambling Act 2005 provides an automatic entitlement to up to two gaming machines of Category C or D for use in alcohol-licensed premises.

    To take advantage of this entitlement, the person who holds an on-sales licence must give notice to the Licensing Board of their intention to make gaming machines available for use and must pay the prescribed fee.

    Licensed Premises Gaming Machine Permits

    The Licensing Board may also issue licensed premises gaming machine permits for any number of category C or D machines in licensed premises (with the exception of off-sale premises). Where a permit authorises the making available of a specified number of gaming machines, this will effectively replace, and not be in addition to, any automatic entitlement.

    Holders of alcohol-licensed premises gaming machine permits are required to comply with a code of practice issued by the Gambling Commission on the location and operation of machines. Information about this code can be found on the Commission's website.
