A lap dancing bar in Liverpool city centre is bidding to have its licence to operate reinstated.
An application has been lodged to Liverpool Council by Dreamers on Victoria Street for a sexual entertainment venue licence after its original terms lapsed during the Covid-19 pandemic. Following the lockdown imposed as the virus spread across the country, a personal licence held by Gareth Kim Yuan Loh expired on March 29, 2021.
According to its website, Liverpool Council does not “take a moral stand in the licensing of sex establishments and recognises that Parliament has made it lawful to operate a sex establishment and that such businesses are a legitimate part of the retail and leisure industries.” It has adopted legislation that allows the licensing of sex shops, sex cinemas and sexual entertainment venues in the city.
