Bereaved families, including 20 individuals who lost relatives to gambling-related suicides, have written to Mayor Sadiq Khan demanding action to fulfill his 2021 pledge to ban betting and casino advertisements from London's transport network. Four years after his commitment, Khan has yet to implement this ban, citing the need for a national framework from the Labour Government. In response, the families highlight that over 80 councils in England successfully enacted similar bans without legal repercussions, questioning the rationale behind delays and calling for immediate action to prevent further suffering.
Bereaved families have implored Mayor Sadiq Khan to act on his past commitment to ban betting adverts on London's transport, stressing the urgent need to protect lives.
The families argue that the lack of action is unacceptable while over 80 English councils have independently implemented similar bans, indicating a feasible path forward.
