Casino Victory for Liberal Democrats

2.35.29pm BST (GMT +0100) Wed 7th Jul 2004

Lib Dem councillors have welcomed watered down proposals for a Casino in East Manchester.

They had concerns too many gambling machines would increase debt in the city- but the casino element of the development from Kerzner only covers 8% of the total development.

Lib Dem finance spokesperson Marc Ramsbottom said today, "We welcome this Labour U turn. The development is now more family entertainment than Las Vegas."
