I originally posted this in feminist activism but it's been suggested that I post it here too so more people can see it.

The two lap dancing clubs remaining in Bristol are going through their licence renewals again - Central Chambers and Urban Tiger (which is opposite the Hippodrome and several main bus stops). Although they are different companies, they are owned by the same people.

Please send in a short objection by 15th October to [email protected] explaining why these relics belong in the past. The council could have refused these licences years ago on the basis of location according to their own policy but they just don't seem to want to, despite recognising that they are problematic and restricting their opening hours.

The reference number for the Central Chambers application is Reedbed Ltd, reference: 18/03023/SEV and for Urban Tiger it's Nightlife Bristol Limited, reference: 18/03022/SEV.

Thanks all

Any questions, please ask!

PS I have already been asked the question about 'what about the women working in the clubs' and I have answered this in the thread in the activist section.

Discussion about links with some TRAs and particular chambers with reference to 'lapdancing' clubs etc was on page 7 of thread:

Thank you WokerThanWoke for your thanks. Campaigning against these places can sometimes feel very lonely so it’s good to get some encouragement. I find it hard to understand how anyone can think they’re acceptable after all the reading I’ve done about them.

Interesting, thank you R0wantrees
I’d not heard of him before. I’ll have a google!
