The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Miatta Fahnbulleh)

My hon. Friend is completely right to raise this issue. That is why we are giving local communities greater powers to control the proliferation of gambling and vape shops. It is also why, through our Pride in Place programme, we are giving communities the funding and tools they need to shape their local high streets, so that those communities can have the shops they want in their place.
