Licensing of Sexual Entertainment Venues

The Scottish Government has recently passed legislation which allows local authorities to decide if they wish to license sexual entertainment venues (“SEVs”).

A sexual entertainment venue is defined as any premises at which sexual entertainment is provided before a live audience for (or with a view to) the financial gain of the organiser.

South Ayrshire Council must now decide:-

• Whether a licensing regime should be adopted to license and regulate SEVs
• What the appropriate number of SEVs in South Ayrshire, or localities within South Ayrshire, should be, if SEVs were to be licensed
• If the Council were to decide to pass a resolution to license SEVs, what matters should be taken into consideration in the development of an SEV policy statement.

The Council is therefore seeking your views on a range of issues associated with SEVs

To take part in the consultation please read the To take part in the consultation please read the consultation proposal

The consultation ends at close of business 4.45pm on Thursday 31st October 2019
