Responsible authorities - Gambling Act 2005

You need to tell certain organisations, called responsible authorities, when applying for a premises license or a provisional statement.

Tower Hamlets is the licensing authority, so you should contact them too. There are additional publicity requirements, so please ask the licensing authority for guidance.
