Today’s Budget announcement is deeply disappointing for Bacta members.
It follows a paralysing six months of tax rumours fuelled by dangerous proposals that threatened the future of our industry.

These are businesses that support jobs on high streets and form a key part of the traditional British seaside holiday. Government cannot keep demanding more from them while making it harder for them to succeed.
Extreme weather is changing the way Britain’s land-based leisure businesses trade.
Bacta VP Jeremy Godden spoke to @nextdotio about the impact of this summer’s heat, the opportunities for seaside arcades and the challenges facing high-street venues.

Arcades, piers and seafront amusements offer affordable fun while sustaining jobs, heritage and community life in coastal towns across the country, writes @bactauk member Charles Holland.

Seaside arcades are about more than entertainment.
They provide jobs, investment, family fun and footfall for the wider coastal economy.
Bacta member Charles Holland sets out why Britain’s seaside revival is an opportunity we cannot afford to waste.

📅 Save the dates! Safer Gambling Week returns from 16–22 November. It’s a nationwide campaign where the whole industry unites to champion safer gambling and raise awareness of the tools that help people stay in control. #SGWeek26
The Prime Minister is right to want thriving, diverse high streets. However, it is deeply disappointing to see responsible, licensed Adult Gaming Centres grouped together with rogue traders and criminal operators.
Vape shops. Betting shops. Dodgy businesses.
If you look at your high street these days and think ‘who asked for this?’, you’re not alone.
I’m doing something about it. We’re giving local people and councils more control over what opens, and tougher powers to crack down on businesses that aren’t good for our communities.
For too long, Westminster has stood by while our high streets declined. That ends now.
