Review of Gambling Policy
East Lindsey District Council has been granted the tight to issue a Small Casino Premises Licence. Althought all applications for the licence will be considered on their own merits, the Council's provisional view is that the proposed Casino Licence should be allocated to a development within the East Lindsey Coastal Action Zone. This is because of the urgent need for regeneration in this part of the East Lindsey District. The Council will expect those who wish to operate the casino facility to support their application with evidence of how best such a development would meet the regeneration needs of the East Lindsey District.
The draft policy can be found on the Council's website, www.e-lindsey.gov.uk and they would prefer you to comment by email (please click here to email Mr Adrian Twiddy). Please make sure that your response includes reference to the paragraph and page numbers within the draft policy to which you are referring to. Consultation in respect of the draft Gambling Policy will close on the 20th of November 2009.

Deal Local
A new campaign, Deal Local, has been launched in North Lincolnshire to encourage local businesses to deal with each other wherever possible. The start of Deal Local involves the launch of a new recommendation and referrals website, which involves each company listed on the website recommending their own local suppliers who provide them with a quality local service in North Lincolnshire. In turn those companies will recommend their own local suppliers until the website is full of highly recommended North Lincolnshire businesses. Click here for more information.
Lincolnshire Firms Urged to take up Free Recruitment Service
Companies in Lincolnshire should take advantage of a free scheme that will help them develop their business by tackling recruitment headaches head-on. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has launched Flexible New Deal, offering unprecedented levels of support to both those who have been out of work for 12 months or more – and organisations that might employ them. Locally, employment specialist A4e has been contracted by the DWP to deliver the programme in conjunction with Jobcentre Plus offices in the region. Click here to read more.
