Swansea council finally announced a decision to give “Bellisimo” an SEV but then stated that as landlord of the property concerned running a strip club would be against the conditions of the lease and they would not consent to a change ! Good to see consistency there, another idiotic court case seems on the cards. Angels in Leicester won an appeal {and £5k costs} against part of the decision to refuse the club an SEV, the appeal against the rest will be heard in September. The 2nd part of the case rests on the club being in an “unsuitable location” opposite a new University sports centre so I’d expect a similar outcome, Angels has not been able to operate as a lap dancing club in the meantime so I’d also expect some sort of suit against the council for loss of earnings to follow.
The new club “Images” the first in Hemel Hempstead {left} has been given a license. “I Candy” Accrington’s first club, which finally opened on May 26th after much local noise, was refused permission to advertise any job vacancies by the local job centre.

Councillors in Cambridge have said that the license for the “Heaven Sent” club should be refused when it comes up for renewal in October.

It’s not only Object that talk nonsense on the subject of strip clubs, Inspector Drummond-Smith has stated that the license for “Kiss” in Newquay should be refused because of the level of sexual assaults last year {when the town had 1 part time club}. This contrasts rather with previous research when the town had several clubs which showed assaults had actually fallen. The council though ignored the facts and turned down the application.
