Will young people accessing online gaming cause issues with gambling in adulthood?
In a 2017 study, the gambling commission found that 12% of 11-16 year olds gambled in the past week. This represented a drop of 25% on 2016 when the same survey found 16% had gambled. Of those young people, 24% first gambled using fruit machines, 21% using National Lottery scratchcards and 11% placed private bets with friends. The main source of gambling activity in young people is therefore unlikely to be online gaming, and gambling activity seems to be dropping overall.

While it could be argued that there were no urgent matters to discuss, there were other issues which could have been discussed, such as Councillor Cherrett's question on single use plastics, an important environmental matter which is of great interest to many residents.
