THE number of sexual entertainment venues in Bournemouth will be capped under regulations currently being considered.
The town’s licensing board is due to consider amendments to the document - which sets out licensing conditions for sex shops, lapdancing clubs and the like - at its meeting on Tuesday, August 2.
Current regulations date back to 2010.
The document also sets out Bournemouth council’s position on appropriate locations of sexual establishments, namely two sex shops in Holdenhurst Road, one in the Triangle, and three sexual entertainment venues in the Old Christchurch Road area - all already in existence.
It states: “The council does not consider any other area within the borough an appropriate location for any sex establishment.”
If approved by the board the revised regulations will be presented to full council for a final decision.
