More Bad News on Green Lanes Betting Shops

The Licensing Committee has granted permission for a premises licence for Betfred (next to the Post Office). One slender hope remains in the form of a possible refusal from the Planning Inspectorate for planning permission, whose decision is still awaited, but with the licence now granted, the scales are tipped further against us.

What all this means, which of course we already knew, is that it is impossible to prevent an unlimited number of betting shops opening in our community.

Hi all. Don't forget about the scrutiny reveiw of betting shops this afternoon at Wood Green Civic Centre. There are two sessions:

At 3pm participants can hear evidence from licensing & planning officers, Gambling Commission and betting shop operators

At 6pm have your say and hear evidence from local residents, community groups and residents associations

I've taken photos of most of the betting shops on Wood Green High Street and posted them on my blog here: http://tinyurl.com/3xn7tgv

THIS morning, on my way back from attending a Cabinet Member Signing (about the £86,000 Borough identity re-branding), I took a photo of damage to the door of a William Hill betting shop in Wood Green. I don't know how long it's been like that.

New Labour's Gambling Act (2005) allowed up to four Fixed Odds Betting Terminals per Gambling Premises. (The damage to the door may be unrelated to FOBTs.)
