Wales bans greyhound racing after Senedd vote
Change
Wales's Senedd voted 39 to 10 to outlaw greyhound racing, with the ban set to take effect no earlier than April 2027 and no later than April 2030.
Why it matters
Organised greyhound racing will become unlawful in Wales, preventing the country's only active track from staging future race meetings. Operators and promoters must wind down or relocate scheduled fixtures during the ban's implementation window.
Implications
- • Valley Greyhounds track operators must cease staging greyhound race meetings and begin wind-down or repurposing plans before the ban takes effect or risk operating unlawfully.
- • Event promoters who schedule greyhound meetings in Wales must cancel or relocate those events prior to the ban's implementation to avoid holding unlawful fixtures.
