Impact of amusement centres and bingo halls
Amusement centres and bingo halls can have both physical impacts on an area's amenities and personal impacts including mental health problems, gambling addictions, and anti-social behaviour.
The impact of amusement centres and bingo halls can be two-fold. There is the physical location of an amusement centre and its impacts upon the amenities of an area as outlined above; and there are the personal impacts of an amusement centre, including exacerbating mental health problems, enabling gambling addictions and increasing anti-social behaviour. Further information regarding amusement centres and mental health/gambling can be found in Appendix 5.
