Lap Dancing - Council's policy doesn't reflect views of Members
December 27, 2008 9:00 AM
The current legal position
At a recent Council meeting, Cllr Alison Kelly asked for confirmation of the Council's position in relation to the licensing of lap-dancing establishments, without prejudice to the Council's duty and obligation to consider any current application according to current rules.
In response it was confirmed that the Council:
- has a current Policy based on government requirements and not on the individual views of Members;
- has written to the government calling for changes to the current licensing law;
- welcomes the Home Secretary's announcement of a proposed change in the law.
It was ruled as not appropriate to discuss this issue in detail, because of a current licensing application.
