The start date for a new strip club licensing scheme in Edinburgh has been pushed back, after a move by the city council to ban any from operating was struck down by a judge.
The capital's 'sexual entertainment venues' (SEVs) now have until the end of the year to secure a licence from the local authority, nine months later than the April 1 deadline set last year.
The delay comes as a result of the outcome of a court case challenging the council's decision to cap the number of venues at zero - which put Edinburgh's four lap dancing bars at risk of closure.
