Before my Grandad passed away, he had dementia, and the social familiarity of the betting shop was a blessing.
Was my Grandad who was betting ยฃ0.50p on his daily accumulator to keep his mind somewhat sane doing dodgy business?
You're just another clueless puppet.
Vape shops. Betting shops. Dodgy businesses.
If you look at your high street these days and think โwho asked for this?โ, youโre not alone.
Iโm doing something about it. Weโre giving local people and councils more control over what opens, and tougher powers to crack down on businesses that arenโt good for our communities.
For too long, Westminster has stood by while our high streets declined. That ends now.
