On Tuesday, Andy Burnham announced measures that will make if more difficult for vape shops, betting shops and “rogue operators” to open in town, city and village centres. Similar rules will apply to betting shops and adult gaming centres. "The rise of vape shops, betting shops and rogue operators have replaced the shops, services, and community spaces that people are crying out for. The prominence of vape shops and gambling business in Bradford city centre was recently raised by Bradford Council’s new Reform Leader Councillor Stephen Place. "Ultimately further incentives will be needed to encourage more businesses like restaurants and bars to open instead of vape shops."
