Issue - meetings

The purpose of the second session is primarily to hear evidence from local residents, community and residents groups and businesses to help the panel understand what impact the clustering of betting shops may be having in local areas and on local communities in Haringey. 

The session will be held in a workshop format, to enable as many people as possible to participate and contribute evidence to the review.

It is planned to hold two open concurrent evidence sessions where local people can participate and give their evidence to panel members. Members of the public are asked to give evidence at one of the following groups (based on geographical area);

Group 1: Harringay Green Lanes/ Wood Green corridor (Council Chamber)

Group 2: Northumberland Park/ Bruce Grove (Committee Room 2)

A summary of evidence received issues raised within the groups will be reported back in the plenary session.

Written submissions received from the public:

• An independent trader from High Road, N17
• Find Your Voice - a local pressure group to campaign against the proliferation of betting shops in the London Borough of Haringey
• Derek Webb, Haringey resident, successful gambler and businessman (of Prime Table Games)
• A Haringey resident
