Burnham proposes giving councils powers to block vape and betting shops to revive Britain's high streets.Summary
Burnham will scrap the “aim to permit” rule, require planning permission for vape shops, extend closure orders to 12 months, give police powers to shut dodgy outlets, and provide guidance to councils to improve high‑street aesthetics, aiming to restore Britain’s hollowed‑out high streets.
