This TEN Eyewitness News examines concerns expressed by parents when a pinball parlour is planned to open opposite their local school.
The reporter claims that amusement parlours have always been 'meeting places for the more unruly elements of society' and that continues to be true for 'the Space Invader generation'.
The Penrith High School principal is worried that the parlour will attract criminals peddling drugs.
