Plans to open another 24-hour gambling shop in a South London town centre have sparked concerns for the protection of vulnerable people.
Objectors said the plans would result in a “cluster” of gambling venues on Putney High Street, which already has one adult gaming centre a short distance away, and two betting shops.
A total of 58 objections were made against an application by Luxury Leisure, trading as Admiral, for permission to open the 24-hour adult gaming centre on the high street. A separate application for planning permission was opposed by 624 people but approved in December 2024.
Putney MP Fleur Anderson told Wandsworth Council’s licensing hearing on Thursday night (July 9) the site was the “wrong location” for a gambling shop as it was opposite Putney Station and near schools.
