At least they will be able to shut those down near schools.

We had two in town; both are now shut. I doubt they made it past 6 months.
My guess is people have other ways of spending their disposable income that's more fun and cheaper.

There was one in the midlands opposite a school entrance. I think that Truro or Falmouth had six at one point. Way too many for a small town.

Since they would be underage and would not be allowed entry and assuming the decor is not tastless and explicit, why is it a bad thing?
Its not like its the red light district in amsterdam.

I've been to a few lapdance places and TBH they just don't "entertain" me. I went a couple of times first for the tittillation but after that it was boring and I only go if the group is going and they're gonna go somewhere else afterwards.

Truro is a city actually. And who's to say how many is too many? Surely that's something the market defines itself?

300 in the UK? Well, that is a rampant problem that desperately needs looking into! :roll:

I can't see the attraction myself, but I guess some people find them entertaining.

I don't think it would have been Truro with 6. There was a club that had strippers for a while; oddly when it was just a gay club no one cared (or chose to ignore it), when they did the equivalent night with girls the local rag went mental. :roll:

I suspect that Newquay has most of the strip clubs in Cornwall.

Actually you are right I think it was Newquay with 6 lap-dancing clubs.

Seriously I have little interest in such clubs, but this is typically represive government.

What a bore.

Whenever this government bans something I'm always tempted to start doing it.
