Adult gaming centre plan recommended for approval in Crewe

Summarised from Northwich Guardian's report · Updated 20 Oct, 20:38 · Archive

Plans to convert a vacant Crewe shop into an adult gaming centre have been recommended for approval despite objections.

Plans to convert a vacant shop at 240 Edleston Road in Crewe into an adult gaming centre have been recommended for approval by planning officers. The application has been called in to the southern planning committee by ward councillor Dawn Clark (Lab) and will be considered on Wednesday.

Objections have come from multiple parties. Crewe Town Council expressed significant concern about public protection from gambling-related harm, particularly where specific areas are targeted. Ward councillor Clark argues the proposal would be detrimental to Cheshire East Council's addiction policy, points to other gaming centres already operating in the town and cites inadequate parking. Crewe and Nantwich MP Connor Naismith (Lab) contends the proposal fails to support the social and cultural well-being required by national planning policy, contradicts high street recovery efforts, will not generate footfall and is out of character with the building.
