A UNION representing Edinburgh’s strippers has officially instructed its lawyers to commence proceedings for a judicial review challenging a ban on strip clubs in the capital.
After successfully fundraising over £20,000 in just three weeks to fund their legal costs, United Sex Workers (USW) seek to overturn the City of Edinburgh Council’s nil-cap policy, which was voted through in March and would from April next year limit the number of strip clubs in the city to zero, forcing four existing establishments to close.
