<p>It appears like the day of the betting shop on Harringay is well and truly over. Poor legislation introduced by the last Labour administration (to say nothing of who was in charge of the department responsible) which encouraged a huge development of betting shops across the country.</p>
<p>Despite the best efforts of locals to fight them off in Harringay, we were particularly badly affected with a dozen shops in Harringay at one point. </p>
<p>More recent legislation to control Fixed Odds Betting Terminals seems to be seeing the shops close down.</p>
<p>The shop pictured above is on the corner of Salisbury Road. I called the agents and they confirmed that their sign does refer to the betting shop. </p>
<p>The company has another rshop further south on Green Lanes, but it's good to see things getting more balanced again. </p>

According to the Guardian/Serious Crime Squad - Haringey''s betting shops are attracting almost a robbery a week. Cash rich and staff light, betting shop robberies account for more than 200 of the 523 serious robberies against commercial properties in the capital in 2015.<br />

Betting shops accounted for 70% of all robberies at commercial premises in London involving a firearm, being hit 167 times. Banks by comparison recorded 17 robberies at gunpoint.<br />

<p>I hadn't really thought about there being a knock on effect until I saw this tweet tonight. It looks like, frustrated in their attempts to open in Harringay, Tipco have open up in poor Palmers Green.</p>

<p></p> New tenants found for Coliseum Shop after Campaign Blocks Bookiestag:harringayonline.com,2013-08-19:844301:Topic:5245522013-08-19T13:01:07.144ZHughhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/hjuk
<p>After almost a year, it seems that HoL's campaign to prevent yet another bookie opening on our High street has resulted in a long-lasting success.</p>
<p>Last summer we heard that the lease for the Coliseum site, at the St Ann’s Road junction, was due to be signed over to Cypriot bookies Tipco. KFH who held the lease but had never occupied the property, had experienced trouble finding a buyer for the lease and were delighted to find takers in Tipco.</p>

<p>After almost a year, it seems that HoL's campaign to prevent yet another bookie opening on our High street has resulted in a long-lasting success.</p>
<p>Last summer we heard that the lease for the Coliseum site, at the St Ann’s Road junction, was due to be signed over to Cypriot bookies Tipco. KFH who held the lease but had never occupied the property, had experienced trouble finding a buyer for the lease and were delighted to find takers in Tipco.</p>
<p>I was less pleased and figuring that with KFH's customer facing business they may be amenable to working with the community to find another solution, I <span>suggested to Rob Tao of Harringay Traders that an approach be made to KFH.</span></p>
<p><span><span>Rob picked up the baton and passed things over to the GLA team involved on the Green Lanes regeneration project. As summer progressed and turned to Autumn, all seemed to be going well. GLA supported plans had been hatched to let the shop and use it as a community pop-up space for an interim period. </span></span></p>
<p><span>Then out of the blue, the Haringey Council licensing team received an application for a licence to operate the premises as a betting shop. </span></p>
<p><span>That's when <a href="http://www.harringayonline.com/forum/topics/tricky-dealing-by-kinleigh-folkard-hayward-rides-roughshod-over-c" target="_blank">I launched HoL's campaign to persuade KFH to change their tack</a> and the community made their concerns clear. After a week or so, I got a call from KFH expressing their discomfort at our campaign and suggesting a way may be open.</span></p>
<p><span>Once again I passed matters over to Rob and he worked with KFH to try and broker a solution. In the meantime, the residents who live above the premises also got involved.</span></p>
<p>It seems that KFH listened to community concerns. Credit is due to them for this. </p>
<p>I'm pleased to be able to announce that a new tenant has now been confirmed. After long negotiations with an ice cream and desert shop, it has been confirmed that solicitors <span>Ersan & Co. have taken a lease on the premises. The firm is currently based near Turnpike Lane.</span></p>
<p><span>Whilst I can think of a number of things I'd have preferred to a solicitor in that spot, I'm delighted to have them rather than a bookie and welcome them to the high street.</span></p>
