Reed urges gambling controls in Croydon as Lambeth opens door to casino licences Streatham MP Steve Reed has published a petition urging Croydon Council to block a 24-hour gambling licence for an Admiral Casino site on Westow Hill.

My local MP Steve Reed urges Croydon to block a 24hr casino. But days later, Lambeth will drop its long-standing ‘No Casino’ clause - despite public support to keep it.

If adopted, Lambeth would no longer formally refuse casino licences, how does this make sense?

Lambeth’s ‘No Casino’ Clause Quietly Dropped:

Despite public opposition, Lambeth Council has removed its long-standing ban on casinos, with no clear explanation, no author named, and a consultation that never even asked the question.
