London campaigners renew calls for gambling ad ban on TfL
Calls to ban gambling advertising on London’s public transport have resurfaced, with campaigners seeking a city-wide policy approach. The report cites Gambling Commission figures showing gambling harm affecting 5.6% of Londoners, compared with 2.9% across Great Britain. Mayor Sadiq Khan had pledged a TfL advertising ban during his election campaign, but it had not been implemented, the report said.
A city-wide TfL advertising ban could restrict gambling campaigns across London’s public transport, amid reported concerns about gambling harm.
