The council adopted the new policy to better reflect Blackpool’s aim to be a family resort
A new policy aimed at phasing out lap dancing clubs in Blackpool has been used for the first time to turn down licence applications.
It follows formal adoption of the new policy in October 2021 which is aimed at eventually eradicating all lap dancing clubs from the resort. The existing four clubs had been allowed to continue operating, but once those licences lapsed for any reason they would not be renewed., and its support of the White Ribbon campaign to reduce violence towards women. It leaves three lap dancing clubs licensed to operate in Blackpool now – Eden Two, Heaven and Sinless, which are all on the Promenade.
A decision notice issued in relation to Dreams says “to grant this application would therefore be entirely inconsistent with that considered number, which was the subject of a detailed consultation prior to the policy’s inception.” The decision notice adds: “The committee did not feel that the facts were such that they should depart from that nil cap, nor did they consider that the grandfather provisions had any direct application.”
