Andrew Pakes.
00:01
Thank you, Mr Speaker.
00:03
The Prime Minister will know that thriving high streets are essential to local growth.
00:09
But in cities like mine, people are increasingly concerned by the uncontrolled growth of betting shops and vape stores.
00:16
We sure it shows this concern is not isolated.
00:20
Nearly half of betting shops and gambling stores are in the 20% of places which are struggling the most, like Peterborough.
00:26
So can I ask the Prime Minister, will he ask his departments to meet with me and campaigners
00:32
so we can discuss ways that local communities like mine can take back control of our high streets?
00:39
My honourable friend is an excellent champion for his constituents.
00:43
And we are committed to supporting our nation's high streets to adapt and thrive.
00:48
Planning applications are required for any new betting office to make sure locals have a say on individual cases.
00:56
And communities can use the planning system to allow for a change of use of their properties.
01:01
And I will make sure that he gets the meeting that he has asked for.
