Dear members of our city council,
Yesterday it was officially announced that a betting shop will open near my children’s school.
Therefore, it is with the deepest concern that I write to beg you to ban the opening of this new
establishment.
Surely this kind of business brings huge benefits to their owners, prove of it is the fact that the
number of betting shops in our city has doubled in less than a year. Nonetheless, is this a good
influence for our children?
What betting shops bring is only bad life habits and addictions that could lead to gambling. As
parents, you may well understand how difficult it is to teach children that money is not a
game. To have an establishment that delivers exactly the opposite idea near their school
destroys all our efforts.
Together we can protect our children! Let us spread the word so that as many people as
possible sign this petition.
Thank you taking it into consideration.
A worried citizen
