The lap dancing club is planning to move from Elmbank Gardens to Hope Street as its lease is coming to an end. It has now secured a sexual entertainment venue licence.
Dancers have welcomed a council decision to grant lap dancing club Seventh Heaven a licence for a new city centre site.
After the decision, Megara Furie, a union rep, said: “This decision secures the livelihoods of our members and strengthens the productive relationship already established between the dancers and the council. Last year, the council ruled no new sexual entertainment venues would be allowed in Glasgow but the three current premises — Seventh Heaven, Diamond Dolls and Platinum Lace — could stay open under ‘grandfather rights’.
An officer told councillors how the Glasgow Violence Against Women Partnership had raised concerns over “human trafficking, gender inequality, predatory behaviour, vulnerable youths and groups congregating at the ‘Four Corners’”. “We also think it undermines the city council's ambition for Glasgow to become a feminist city,” she said.
