A Liverpool city centre strip club is to expand its premises after easing concerns raised by the local authority.
Erotica on Stanley Street has been granted a new sexual entertainment venue (SEV) licence after a decision on its future was put on hold by Liverpool Council’s licensing committee last week. Applicant Howard Gwynn had sought to secure a licence for the location to put on lap dancing, pole dances, table dances and strip shows from 10pm to 6am daily.
When the committee met on April 18, a four person panel of councillors had raised issues around entrances and exits around the premises, as well as partitions, CCTV and the safety of the more than 20 dancers working at Erotica. The application was put in as Erotica’s proprietors are extending into adjoining premises that back onto Temple Court.
