I am pleased that following our petition, Croydon Council has paused the application for Admiral Casino in Crystal Palace pending a hearing from the Licensing Sub-Committee.
This means that the application will be debated by Councillors, taking into account concerns from the local community, who I know have questioned the impact this would have on the character of the local area.
If you have any further questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to get in contact at [email protected].
