Adoption of new 'Sexual Entertainment Venue' provisions of Local Government (Misc. Provisions) 1982
Meeting: 14/09/2010 - Executive (Item 8)
Pole dancing, lap dancing, striptease and similar forms of entertainment have until recently been controlled by the licensing Act 2003. They have been subject to the same rules and regulations as music and dancing generally. Because some Authorities have seen a proliferation of this type of entertainment the legislation has been amended to allow Councils to licence “sexual entertainment venues” separately. Section 27 of the Policing and Crime Act 2009 requires the Council to either adopt Schedule 3 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 or to hold full community consultations to decide whether to adopt.
Decision:
that approval be given to the adoption of Schedule 3 of The Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 as amended by Section 27 of the Police and Crime Act 2009 and to appoint 12 October 2010 as the first appointed day.
Minutes:
