A new licensing regime for sexual entertainment venues in Dumfries and Galloway looks set to come into effect on New Year’s Day.
Councillors at Thursday’s communities committee in Dumfries are being asked to agree the final terms of the sexual entertainment venues policy statement it needs by law.
They will also have to set a proposed fee for grant or renewal of a new licence and it is being proposed that this should be £1,586 “whether granted for one year’s duration or less” and would mirror the current fee for a sex shop licence.
