Dear supporters,

Thanks to your incredible support, our petition to stop the proposed 24-hour Adult Gaming Centre in Ashford has now received over 1,500 signatures—a truly phenomenal response that proves how much our community cares. 🙌

Now, the moment has arrived: the appeal hearing is tomorrow, Wednesday 26 March, and we need to make one final push.

📍 Where: The Council Chamber, Spelthorne Borough Council Offices, Knowle Green, Staines-upon-Thames, TW18 1XB

🕙 When: Wednesday 26 March 2025, starting at 10:00 AM

Even if you can only attend for part of the hearing, your presence makes a huge difference. The more people who show up, the clearer it is to the Planning Inspectorate that Ashford says NO to this development.

🗣️ If you plan to attend, please email planningdm@spelthorne.gov.uk with your name, email, and a note that you’re an interested party.

🎤 If you’d like to speak, just make yourself known to the Inspector at the beginning of the session.

This is our final chance to show how strongly we oppose this proposal. If you can’t attend in person, please consider asking someone to represent you.

Thank you again for standing with us. Let’s finish what we started—together. 💪
