Today, we became the first council in the UK to join the Coalition to End Gambling Ads. We are proud to be leaders in this space, and in protecting our communities from gambling harms. This is the latest action in a long series we have taken to tackle gambling harms. Sadly, we know that there are as many as 8,000 people experiencing gambling harms in Haringey. Another 25,000 people are affected more widely by these harms, for example family and friends. That is the impact that gambling has on our borough, and why we are working so hard to protect our communities. Since 2019, we have banned gambling adverts on any advertising sites that we manage. This act signals to the government that we must do more to protect people across the country from gambling harms. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eUKJusnh Lucia das Neves, Peray Ahmet
