Sheffield City Council is running a consultation on the future of Sexual Entertainment Venues (SEV's) - such as strip clubs and swingers clubs in Sheffield.
The council is proposing to ban all types of SEV's in all parts of Sheffield.
We believe this is wrong and there should be no outright ban. The previous process of deciding the suitability of each individual venue, on its own merit, should continue.
Many other cities and towns across the UK have SEV's with no limits in place and no outright ban. They work well and cause no issues for the surrounding businesses and other stakeholders.
The people who visit or work in such venues do so at their own choice. Currently, there are protocols in place to protect workers and those who visit such venues. Under the Human Rights Act, they have a choice to visit or work in such venues.
Extreme actions such as a total ban will push people to working in or visiting 'underground' venues - which are harder to control.
Consenting adults who choose to visit or work in such venues should not be deprived of their lifestyles and livelihoods by the vocal objection of a minority of people.
The council needs to be more broad-minded and accept different people's lifestyles, which in turn will benefit the city.
We would really welcome our fab friends to help us complete the survey and tell Sheffield City Council we don't want a ban!
Thank you
