The big news today is the announcement that Britain's first super casino is to be built in Manchester.
Great news for the city and for the 2,700 people who will be employed there. There has been a lot of people opposed to these plans because of fears over gambling addiction. I can see their worries but if the concern over addictions is so great, why do shops and bars still freely sell alcohol and cigarettes?
In any new plan / proposal there will always be a downside, but a development such as this has got to be good for regeneration, tourism and employment. The majority of visitors, as in Las Vegas, will be there for some fun and will gamble sensibly so I welcome it, although I do feel for poor Blackpool.
The question now is - what will happen to the Millenium Dome?!
