Lap Dancing - Lobby your council now with OBJECT's Guides
Since April 2010 local authorities have had the option to stop licensing lap dancing clubs like cafes and instead regulate them as part of the sex industry.
OBJECT has now published two toolkits to help you lobby your local authority to make sure they use these new powers effectively.
The first toolkit will help you make sure your council takes up the new licensing in the first instance.
The second can be used only once your council has introduced the new licensing but is critical in ensuring they make full use of it.
Take action now! Help tackle the growth of lap dancing clubs.
Take Action Now
Step 1: Find out whether your council has adopted the new licensing
Find out if your council has passed any resolutions by the full council on 'Sexual Entertainment Venues' (lap dancing clubs) by:
- Contacting the licensing department of your local council
(the telephone number for the main switchboard will be on your council's website)
- Or searching your council's website
Step 2: Download the relevant Toolkit and take action!
To be used if your local council has not already taken up the new licensing regime.
Toolkit 2: How to make sure your council makes full use of new licensing regime for lap dancing clubs
To be used after your council has adopted the new licensing regime.
