On Tuesday (30 October) Maidstone Council threw out an application for lap dancing to take place at a venue located near a large shopping mall in the Gabriels Hill area.
A similar application for a lap dancing club to open near Maidstone town centre was rejected by the Council last Monday (22 October).
The Christian Legal Centre supported a local resident who voiced the concerns of many others that such a venue was inappropriate in an area surrounded by churches, a large shopping centre and a number of family-friendly restaurants.
Comment
Welcoming the decision, Andrea Williams, CEO of the Christian Legal Centre, said:
"We are delighted that Maidstone Council has reaffirmed its position that no new sex establishments are welcome in the area.
"If you wish to resist a sex establishment application, please contact the Christian Legal Centre. We will support you. After achieving two victories in just over one week, we are confident that more successes are possible.”
