The Greater London Council (General Powers) Act 1984 gives council's in London the power to licence premises (including stalls) where the sale of goods by competitive betting takes place.
The council may set out conditions which auction houses must comply with. These relate to matters such as public safety, fire prevention, and lighting.
Some council's outside London also require auction premises to register with them.
North Lincolnshire Council does not require auction houses to be registered.
If you have any queries regarding this please phone the council on 01724 297750.
