“The Department of Culture, Media and Sport’s decision to
treat all licensed premises as homogenous is a worrying
precedent, as it is clear that venues offering adult
entertainment involving nudity function and interact within
the local community in a unique way.
In addition, the Licensing Act 2003 has made it increasingly
problematic for Local Authorities to monitor clubs and
applications in their jurisdictions.
In order to end social inequality and to give all residents,
workers and visitors the same opportunities to thrive and to
use the late night economy, the DCMS will need to change
its stance to recognise that adult venues need to be
treated differently, and carefully monitored.”
