Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Another betting shop planned on Lordship Lane please help
Morning all,
We have just found out that Paddy Power wants to open a betting shop in the recently closed pub on Lordship (606 Lordship Lane N22 5JH) about 5-7 minutes walk from Wood Green tube station. I live locally and am totally outraged as there are already 2 betting shops within 30 seconds walk of that old pub - a William Hill and Ladbrokes.
There is a sign on the door saying Paddy Power has submitted an application under the Gambling Act 2005 and that any representations need to be made in writing to the licensing authorities by 25th March.
I know similar situations have cropped up on Green Lanes and some of you have been active in fighting it - I would like your advice on how to stop this! I am planning writing to local councilors and MPs and will start a petition .
How can it be allowed to have three in such a short stretch of street - the noise and rubbish these places produce is terrible?
Please sign the petition here: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/not-another-betting-shop-on-lord...
Thanks for your support!
Katie

Hello, did anyone else receive the notification of hearing letter from the council this morning?
.... Any idea if it is best to represent in person, or if it holds more weight if an MP represents on behalf of the interested parties (and on which note if any of them are willing to do so?)
Thanks!!

Being there in person would be best- mps should be there too but the more people are there the better, also I'd encourage as many people to give evidence as possible.
Our letter notifying us about the hearing was received on 1 April but said we should reply before the 14 march! I imagine this is a typo and was meant to say April, could everyone please make an effort to attend as this is our last stand and the only time our voices will truly be heard.

i also received this letter (and noticed the typo!)

I've made some more posters notifying people about the hearing on Tuesday, I really do think that if people know about this then they will show an interest.
Unfortunately I won't be able to print and stick up anything up until Monday evening, which may be too late. Is there anyone that could run a few off and stick over the pub, bus stops and around the local area today?
I've done an A3 and A4 version, you can download them here:

Anyone else see this post in the news over the weekend? Sadly too late for LL I think.
'Councils will be able to refuse a planning application if they are worried about the number of shops'

Just seen an email from lib dems saying the application has been rejected! Is this correct? If so, that is fantastic news and thank you to everyone who participated.

yep it was great news - i started a separate thread with the news
Residents last night won round 1 of Paddy Power betting shop battle! The licencing committee on Tuesday evening rejected Paddy Power's application to open another betting shop on Lordship Lane!!!!!
Big thanks to all that made the hearing last night - to all those who we nominated to speak. It was a great turn out and although we were there until 11 pm it was well worth the wait!!
No doubt will they appeal the decision so let the fight continue...
Please start keeping evidence of anti social behavior and crime along that stretch of shops - report to police for hard evidence
Some of us are in the process of doing the necessary paperwork to get the pub listed - so please any ideas around how to get historical references to this building would be appreciated.
Feels so good to have it rejected!! Have good day :-)

You too Katie!

It looks as though PADDY POWER are appealing, we received a consultation letter yesterday notifiying us of re-consultation for their planning permission.
Closing date for planning (not licensing) objections is 17th June 2014.
Ref: HGY/2014/0715
No notice of the licensing request .... yet.
