Petition Action

Make it mandatory for bookmakers to put up screens to protect staff members.

Petition Details

Make every betting shop in the UK put up bandit screens as more and more shops are being robbed. Violent robberies keep occurring and can cause serious injuries. We are told our safety comes first, which it should do, but they fail to do so by not putting the necessary protection into place.

Additional Information

Betting shops are prime targets for criminals to commit crimes. Bandit screens are the last line of defence for betting shop staff. Without them, customers or criminals can cause harm to staff members. Rather than wait for something to happen, we need to act now.
