I am disgusted that yet another betting shop is being proposed for Hayes.

When I was distributing leaflets on Saturday, a young girl came up to me and explained that her 17 year old brother was a gambling addict, he had stolen from the family home and was now living rough.

She said another betting shop would only encourage more young gambling addicts.
