What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Islington licensing committee rejected a proposal for an all-night casino in Holloway Road after hundreds of residents voiced their opposition. Cain’s Amusement Ltd had submitted a licensing application for an Adult Gaming Centre in July, but its final hope for approval was rejected this week. The Metropolitan Police provided input on the planning hearing, where Jeremy Corbyn represented local community interests.
