As I walked down High Street I was horrified to see that another betting shop plans to open in our town.
There clearly is no need for another betting shop, which simply targets those who are vulnerable and can ill afford to lose money. Also, such establishments become a haven for those who make law abiding residents fear to shop in Wealdstone.
Can you through your columns encourage those who feel like me to oppose another betting shop by writing to Harrow Council’s licensing team at PO Box 18, Civic Centre, Harrow.
