Under the Freedom of Information Act, could you please provide a list of all currently active lottery terminals and or premises that sell lottery tickets that are operating within the North East of England in Excel format. If delivered as a comma-separated file (CSV), please use quotation marks around each data field to ensure proper parsing of the data. Ideally, I want the data file to cover places such as corner shops, supermarkets, petrol stations and other premises that may sell lottery tickets. When referring to lottery, this can be the national lottery or any form of lottery tickets that may be sold.
The data should be within the following 12 local authorities that makes up the North East of England.
Information about each retailer should include the following data. If a data item (column) is marked "optional", then please include the data item if it is available, but if that data item is not available please continue with the request without that specific data item. If a data item is partially available (available only for a subset of records), then please include the information on those records it is available and leave blank for the records it is not available.
Thank you for your request which has been processed under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
