Licenced Betting Offices in Coventry 2007-13

The request was successful.

Richard Richardson

Dear Coventry City Council,

Please could you release to me information on how many Licensed Betting Offices were licensed in the borough in each year from 2007 to 2013.

For clarity: I wish to understand the total number of bookmakers licenced in each year 2007-13 and how that has changed over time. Some councils make their current register available online, unfortunately this gives just the current number not the historic trend.

Yours faithfully,

Richard Richardson

Coventry City Council

Dear BSC CC1/2,

Many thanks for your reply:
2007 37
2008 5
2009 0
2010 0
2011 2
2012 1
2013 1
Total 46

Unfortunately my question was to slightly ambiguous. What I want to understand is the number of bookmakers operating in each year. This response tells me about the licences issued but not those surrendered, lapsed or revoked.

Please could you also tell me how many licences were surrendered lapsed or revoked in each year 2007-2013 so that I can calculate the number operating in each year.

Thank you and apologies that the question was ambiguous.

Yours sincerely,

Richard Richardson
