Strip club licenses are to protect women, not promote sex industry, says South Ayrshire councillor

A councillor says the introduction of strip club licenses is needed to protect females despite classing sexual entertainment as a form of 'violence against women'.

South Ayrshire Council has agreed to introduce powers to regulate strip clubs and other adult entertainment venues, having postponed the implementation twice since agreeing in principle in 2020.

The Leadership Panel agreed to the new implementation date on Tuesday and will be required to get input from police, public health Scotland, and relevant groups like women's aid.
