Dear Mr Richardson,
 
RE:  FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (SCOTLAND) ACT 2002 – REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
 
Thank you for your request for information which was received by West
Dunbartonshire Council on 03/04/2014 about:
 
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.
 
This means that licenced bookmakers whose licences have lapsed, been
surrendered or have been revoked need to be included, just information of
when the currently licenced premises were first licenced is potentially
misleading when analysing the trend over time.
