"Cllr Adourian slammed Silvertime's plans to move their arcade to a bigger location as appalling. Addressing the applicant, Cllr Adourian said: It isn't worth it. Cut your losses, sell-up and move on."
"Bianca Jagger stated that 30 percent of children between the ages of 11 and 17 are already engaged in online gaming, emphasizing the need to stop gaming companies from targeting the vulnerable."
"Francesco Zebellini, Chair of the Earl's Court Society, expressed that increasing gambling activity means attracting more young and vulnerable individuals, which the larger venue would facilitate."
A planning application for a new gambling venue with 14 additional machines was refused by the Kensington and Chelsea Planning Sub-Committee. Local councillors opposed the move, citing concerns over the impact on vulnerable individuals, particularly youth. Over 300 letters of objection were received, with no support for the application. A protest was held, highlighting the issue of gaming companies targeting vulnerable populations. The adult amusement company argued the application was a simple relocation of their existing venue, but concerns about legal protections and community impact were significant.
