Proceeding contribution from Joan Ruddock (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.
Localism Bill (ways and means)
When the Minister undertakes that review and looks into the issue, will he consider the fact that there are clusters of betting shops in many high streets, including Deptford high street in my constituency, and that they are crowding out regeneration and diversity of retail? This proliferation of betting shops is blighting many areas. He needs to take into account not only changes of use but the fact that there are far too many instances of this single type of operation being clustered in one street, which I am sorry to say attracts a lot of antisocial behaviour.
