Kilburn Residents Oppose Gaming Centre Plan
Update: 2026-01-06
Description
Residents of Brent, London, are vehemently opposing plans to convert a former Santander bank into an adult gaming centre, citing concerns about gambling harm and the need for real investment in the community. The proposal has sparked a backlash, with over 200 objections and calls for shops and cafes to revive the high street. Brent already has one of the highest numbers of licensed gambling spots in London, with gambling harm costing the borough over £14 million a year. The councils planning committee will decide on the application later this year, as they push for tougher national rules to curb these centres.
