those responsible must be held to account. william hill is planning to close around 700 betting shops after a government decision to reduce the maximum stake on fixed—odds terminals from £100 to £2. emma simpson reports. bookies, they've become a firm feature on high streets across the uk. william hill has more than anyone else, but nearly a third of its shops are now set to close. 11,500 jobs at risk. there are 17 in the borough of croydon, too many for some residents. people haven't got the money. some people get their money and then they go to the betting shop and they've got choices everywhere, everywhere, in every street, and i don't think that's right. people outside the betting shops are always asking for money. 20p here, 20p there and they go straight to the machines, they put it straight in, back out again, begging for more. fixed odds betting terminals

the industry is already going through an incredible period of distress. this retail expert is wondering who's going to fill the gaps. in general, a large number of these stores are located in deprived areas across high streets in the uk that are already suffering from high levels of vacancy rates. so, the reality of filling these stores, when demand for retail property is at a 10—year low, is that it's going to be very challenging. hello, i'm tulsen tollett and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme: women's defending champion, angelique kerber, is knocked out in the second round at wimbledon by a lucky loser. west indies finish their campaign
