Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

The following from the LCSP:

As you know, local residents fought an excellent campaign to oppose the opening of an Adult Gaming Centre in Green Lanes. The Council supported us by refusing licensing and planning permission, but unfortunately both of these decisions were overturned on appeal. This means that Agora Leisure have the right to open their premises.

However, they have now put in an application to vary their licence, meaning that the premises would be divided into 3 units. The sole reason for this is to increase the number of the most addictive and profitable gaming machines, which offer £500 prizes for a £1 stake. The law only allows 4 per premises, but by dividing up the site into 3 small units they will end up with 12 of these machines.

This is a totally cynical and calculated move, which was no doubt part of their plan from the outset. We actually stand a very good chance of resisting this, and the Council is on our side from the start. However, as local residents we do need to show the strength of our opposition, so please sign the online petition by 30 November which will help us to ensure that our case is as strong as possible.


If you would like to make an individual representation direct to the Council, go to the Planning and Licensing page on this site, in the Licensing section, you'll see links for viewing licensing applications and instructions on making representation.

This petition is compelling in its argument.

I'm very pleased to support it.

Good point (as always) Tom. I should have put this in the original post (and will do so now).

If you go to the Planning and Licensing page on this site, in the Licensing section, you'll see links for viewing licensing applications and instructions on making representation.
A leaflet came through the letter box from the Tottenham Labour Party. At the bottom there is an email address, if you feel that the applications should be refused. Representation needs to be made by Wednesday 3rd December:

licensing@haringey.gov.uk
licensing@haringey.gov.uk does not work for me
James, look at my posting just above. There's a link with all you need to make a representation.
Great Hugh.
Nice work.
May this all be stopped.

Couple of hours left to hit the magic 200. Currently 197, with two voids.
Well done for organising this Hugh.
Best,
Jack
Good news on this one - Daliah at Licensing is just about to write out to anyone who objected to let is all now that the application was refused. Whether that's and end to the matter we'll have to see.
Indeed, we shall have to see. Given the flagrant disregard for planning decisions by most developers of any description in this area, we cannot be sure they will not go ahead anyway. We must keep a careful eye on this.
