Two lap dancing clubs seek licences to operate in Liverpool city centre

A Liverpool City Council meeting will decide on two applications for licences for lap dancing clubs in the city centre.

A meeting of the council's Licencing Committee will meet later this month to run the rule over two applications for sexual entertainment licences.

The first of these comes from Erotica, based in Stanley Street. The application has been submitted by Howard Gwynn.

The premises currently holds a sexual entertainment venue licence but is extending into adjoining premises that back onto Temple Court. Under the new requested licence, the relevant entertainment to be provided at the establishment is described as being 'lap dancing, pole dancing, table dancing and stripshows.' The hours applied for are 10am to 6am Monday to Sunday.

According to the council report, no objections have been made to the granting of the Erotica licence. Merseyside Police have made no comments or objections on the application.

The same meeting will also hear an application for a sexual entertainment venue licence for another establishment called Dreamers and applicant Meshach Harris.

According to the report, the entertainment provided at the establishment in Victoria Street will be described as 'lap dancing' and the hours applied for are 8pm to 5am from Monday to Sunday.

Dreamers previously held a sexual entertainment venue licence for over 10 years but closed during the covid pandemic in 2020. An application was not made to renew the licence in 2020 and therefore the most recent application expired on March 31 of that year.

Like with Erotica, there have been no objections made by members of the public or by Merseyside Police.

Both applications will be heard by the council's Licensing Committee on Tuesday April 18, who will then make a decision on each.
