The data – which shows that across the Peterborough City Council area, you are on average less than a four minute drive from a bookies or a casino – was revealed by the Consumer Data Research Centre.
Earlier this year, Mr Pakes spoke out after plans for a new adult gaming centre to move into the old Wilko building in the city centre were revealed.
Speaking about the statistics from the CDRC, Mr Pakes said: “We all know that places like Peterborough have been plagued by the uncontrolled growth of adult gaming centres and shops like vape stores. I am really pleased that the council listened to residents and stopped the most recent planning application but it is an uphill struggle.
“That’s why i am working with over 30 councils and MPs to stop the rot and to give communities greater control over our high streets. I will be taking these issues back to Parliament and continuing my campaign to fix this issue.
“We need a proper plan for a Peterborough city centre and our neighbourhoods and that needs to start with a curb on gambling centres, more neighbourhood police and action to bring investment to the city.”
