19 May 2012. 480-486 High Road Tottenham. Ladbrokes Betting Shop (480) ; Perfect Fried Chicken (482) ; Sense Charity Shop (484); Paddy Power, Betting Shop (486). On 30 March 2012 the Coalition Government reject proposals made by Mary Portas in her Review into High Streets to amend the law on betting shops. David Lammy MP for Tottenham described it as huge opportunity missed to empower local people to stop clustering of betting shops on their High Streets, "The Portas Review, published in December last year, had originally proposed to change the planning use class of betting shops from “A2” to sui generis (a category all of its own). This would mean every prospective betting shop would have to apply for planning permission, giving the local council and local residents the chance to consider the cumulative impact of multiple shops clustered together." In her review, Mary Portas said that '…the influx of betting shops, often in more deprived areas, is blighting our high streets…. Currently, betting shops are oddly and inappropriately in my opinion classed as financial and professional services. Having betting shops in their own class would mean that we can more easily keep check on the number of betting shops on our high streets'. In their response to the review, the government rejected the need for this change in Use Classes, claiming that councils already have the necessary powers." — Comment from the website of David Lammy MP Member of Parliament for Tottenham. ________________________________ See where this picture was taken. |
