A Cambridge licensing policy for sex establishments

by admin on 1 March, 2011

Next Thursday’s South Area meeting will be discussing some important issues, including a council policy for the licensing of sex establishments.  The meeting’s at Homerton College, open to everyone and starts at 7.30 p.m. You can view an agenda on the City Council website.

Sex establishments

Sex shops,pubs and clubs have to be licensed by their local authorities, which means they have to observe certain conditions. To date, sex clubs such as lap-dancing clubs have not needed a licence, but new legislation has given councils the power to regulate lap-dancing clubs and similar venues. Cambridge City Council is consulting on a draft licensing policy for sex establishments between now and 26th April. You can view it here.

Other items on the agenda include setting policing priorities, grants and planning applications.
