Coventry council pledges to crack down on illegal vape shops and mini-marts, but Reform councillors criticize the plan as vague.Summary
Coventry City Council, led by Labour councillors, announced new powers to shut down illegal vape shops, mini-marts and barbers that act as fronts for organised crime. The council pledged decisive action, increased enforcement officers, and urged residents to report suspicious activity. Reform councillors, however, accused the Labour group of issuing a 'word salad', pointing to a shop that repeatedly reopened after enforcement orders, and demanded clearer evidence and accountability.
