Andy Burnham
Andy Burnham is detailing plans to crack down on the number of new vaping and betting shops, his latest announcement focused on tackling everyday issues as he tries to win over voters since becoming Britain’s prime minister.
The government will consult on proposals to make it easier for councils to block new betting shops on their main streets and also require vape shops to obtain planning permission, 10 Downing St. said in a statement. The government will also tighten the definition of what constitutes a vape shop, in an effort to stop businesses getting around the rules by claiming to be a general convenience store, the government said.
