News February 2017: Fillies banned from
Cheltenham An application for sexual entertainment venue licence at the Fantasy Club, 12-14 Bath Road was rejected. About 20 objections were lodged against lap dancing club plan. The licensing committee voted 3-1 to refuse
the application on the grounds that the premises were in a supposedly inappropriate location. The committee heard objections from an opposition alliance made up of Councillor Flo Lucas, St Paul's Residents' Association Chair Tess Beck and Lesley
Painter of local feminist group, Chelt Fems. Painter argued that Cheltenham Borough Council should follow in the steps of high-profile international organisations such as Formula 1, who axed scantily clad grid girls from their events last year. This is the first time in three year's that the The Fantasy Club has been refused a licence. The club was granted a licence for lap dancing in 2017 and 2016.
News February 2015: Licence renewed Fantasy Gentlemen's Club has been given permission to continue running for another year. More than 25 people wrote in to Cheltenham Borough Council with their objections,
claiming the location was inappropriate and it detracted from the character and appeal of the local area. But the applicants said the club has run for a year with little or no trouble. Gloucestershire Constabulary said it had no incidents to
report.
News January 2015: Battle Lines Fantasy has applied for a licence renewal and a couple of miserable campaigners have intimated that they would consider another campaign against the club.
News June 2014: Fantasy The venue previously intended to be Blue Diamond has now been sold to new owners. The bar will now open as Fantasy Gentlemen's Club and will open on 19th June 2014. It is associated with
Fantasy Club in Swindon.
News February 2014: Licence approved The council approved the licence. There were 200 letters of opposition but mostly on unallowed moralist grounds.
News January
2014: New Application Local residents are inevitably aghast that anyone has dared to propose a table dancing club in Cheltenham Campaigners say it would not be an appropriate venue, it would be immoral, and they fear for the
safety of women passing by late at night.

The 2 Pigs Pub Lower High Street
Cheltenham The venue is a part time operation restricted to the days around the town's major horse racing meetings.

News November: Licence renewed The council had received a lot of objections to the pub's annual licence renewal, many of which are not very credible. The council overruled the objections but did specify that lap dancing
should not commence before 8pm due t the proximity of children's library that opens until 7pm. The venue had applied to open as follows:
- Festival Trails Day - January 25, 2020, to January 26, 2020, from 8pm to 5am
- The Festival - March 9, 2020, to March 15, 2020, from 8pm to 5am

8pm to 5am
News July 2019: More meetings The 2 Pigs pub holds lap dancing events during the Cheltenham Horse Racing Festival in March. It applied to the council to offer similar events at other key horse racing meetings in
October, November and December and the council duly agreed.
News January 2017: Application A company runs occasional lap dancing events to coincide with race days. At the moment the company already runs such
events spread across 5 venues, presumably to qualify for the 11 events a year allowed without a sex entertainment licence. The company would now to like to rationalise this to one licensed venue, the 2 Pigs Pub, and so have submitted a licence
application to Cheltenham Council. 50 residents have submitted an objection whinging about morality and location. The police have chipped in a list of 30, now doubt repressive, licence conditions.

News July 2015: Chester Tutters Chester's only strip club has been closed down by moralists on Chester's Council. Arbitrary reasons were quoted for the refusal to renew the licence for Platinum Lounge in the city centre.
Chester and Cheshire West Council's planning committee claimed it was no longer appropriate for Platinum Lounge to continue. The committee noted the venue was close to family friendly premises, such as BARS??? and
restaurants, as well as residential accommodation. They also noted that the presence of a strip club does nothing to enhance Chester's family friendly tourist offering , the Dewa Roman Experience. The venue later became a Breakout centre.
