Too many vape shops on high street, shoppers claim
Shoppers in Newcastle-under-Lyme claim there are too many vape shops following recent closures of stores selling illegal products.Summary
Following the closure of Simba's Shop and Cobra Vape Shop for selling illegal and counterfeit products, residents and traders in Newcastle-under-Lyme have expressed concerns regarding the high density of vape stores on the town's high street. While some locals welcomed the council's enforcement actions to protect the community from dangerous, unregulated goods, others noted that the proliferation of these shops has negatively impacted the town's character.
Local officials, including Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council leader Jonathan Gullis, emphasized that the council will prioritize law-abiding businesses and take robust action against those selling illicit goods. The crackdown aims to protect consumers, particularly young people, from potentially dangerous products and to ensure fair competition for legitimate local traders.
