The proposed super-casino project at Wembley has been put at risk by a change in control at Brent council, with some Conservative and Liberal Democrat councillors opposing the £320m scheme.
The Harrah’s Entertainment and Quintain project had the support of Labour councillors but the recent switch to Conservative-Liberal Democrat control has left the scheme in limbo, with several councillors saying they would seek to block its lack of progress.
Schemes that do not have local support will not be considered by the Casino Advisory Panel, which is choosing the location of the sole super-casino.
