Brent Labour is making things happen.
π¨A huge win for our community! π°π«
People in in our area are sick and tired of big gambling companies targeting our area to open more and more high street casinos.
Thatβs why your #Harlesden and #KensalGreen Labour Action Team started a campaign to change the law!

I joined @TimesRadio to discuss the fantastic news that the Government is scrapping Aim to Permit.
After years of campaigning, councils will finally have greater power to say no to new betting (and vape) shops.
Now we can start shaping the high streets our communities deserve.
The government is changing the law to stop the spread of high street casinos - and itβs all thanks to a campaign started right here in #Harlesden and #KensalGreen!
Here @Georgia_Gould & @MiliKPatel reflect on this big win and what it will mean for communities like ours.

Brent Labour has long called for stronger local powers on gambling. The reforms that were announced today give councils and local people a greater say about what happens on our high streets.
