Accrington lap-dancing club protest hots up
5:25pm Friday 11th November 2011 in News
A CAMPAIGN to prevent a lap-dancing club opening in Accrington is gathering pace.
Hundreds of people are backing Rev Kevin Logan’s bid to stop I Candy bar from obtaining an alcohol licence.
A Sexual Entertainment Venue licence has already been granted by Hyndburn Council for the venue which would open in Blackburn Road but has yet to apply for planning permission.
More than 600 people signed a petition against the plans.
Rev Logan, former reverend at Christ Church, Accrington, will be collecting signatures of objection in Accrington Town Centre this weekend.

Some years ago you fought and won against Cynthia Payne and her joint venture with a new "club" on Church Street. I help a little along the way.
Not in a position to give direct help this time... BUT you have my support from a distance.
Seems they will never learn... BUT it was always a risk once the decisions for licensing matters were COMPLETELY handed over to Councillors and not Magistrates.
Best of luck. I think Accy needs a lap dancing club like a "hole in the head"

I can understand the need for Rev Kev and the moral police but it will be a shame if they are successful. In these times there are worse things to worry about other than a lap dancing club

not conducive to balanced children if you throw this in their town centre.
is it not the case this stuff is the norm within the high end corporate shindigs? if so why do people want to emulate all that is destructive?

I think it shows the typical would-be pious contempt for any dancer that chooses to work in this industry - no matter how professional or talented they are.
It's not as if they'd be performing "The Ballet of the Chestnuts" here - so wanting to prevent the club opening is as hypocritical as when the Pope banned the Tango.

it only takes a little **** and drugs with satanic music videos, and the children are away, regardless of their age....
you have to remain an adult if you want a great nation, like America, the adults have become children and care only for their own whims and willies.
who cares if the schools are destroying children? who cares if the country is under fascism, who cares if the government are implementing death camps, we all want to be slaves cuz we can't be bothered with real life, let the government make the decisions....

this is how they began in germany then swiftly just out of sight they turned as we know into death camps.
today you have to see this in different terms.
the fence is the statute contract, the guards are the corporate judiciary.
when you look at the immigration aspect to the work programmes, specifically the landed resources agenda, then the system being implemented without a change in protocol can very quickly shift to etermination camps just out of sight as slaves are shifted abroad and perhaps never seen again.
when the government announces they are to remove 700.000 TERMINALLY ILL off benefits, then murder is the only option, unless the coalition mean to give them loads of money in order they do not need benefits.
