11.3 Stockton Licensing situation Teesside’s first lap dancing club, ‘Angels’, opened in Stockton in 2001 - next door to a family centre and amid widespread protest. In January 2008, an application was made by Endurance Leisure Limited for a Premises Licence to hold lap dancing at the Moby Grape Pub. Response A prospective MP called for the public to oppose plans for a lap dancing club at a prominent site overlooking the River Tees. However despite objections from residents the licence was granted in February 2008. Stockton-on-Tees Council said it was unable to consider the objections made due to restrictions put in place by the Licensing Act 2003 51 . Supported by Alex Cunningham, Prospective MP for Stockton North . 11.4 Hackney Licensing situation Response Supported by Hackney council currently officially licenses no lap dancing clubs.
