Gambling adverts should be banned from Bradford Council advertising hoardings and venues, as well as City of Culture events – a committee has argued.

The call came during a discussion on the impact of gambling in the Bradford District.

During the debate Bradford Council was criticised for allowing the filming of a Paddy Power advert in Saltaire last year.

The Council’s Corporate Scrutiny Committee receive an update on gambling in the District each year. The most recent report was presented to the committee on Thursday evening, and said there were an estimated 16,283 adults at risk of or experiencing gambling related harm in the Bradford District.
