A SOUTHAMPTON strip club is to run under new conditions.

Licensing bosses have approved proposals to change some of the conditions within For Your Eyes Only’s licence.

The High Street club is also set to have its licence renewed.

The news comes as earlier this year the strip club was temporarily closed while city licensing chiefs carried out a review.

As reported, the decision followed a police investigation into reports that a customer of the strip club allegedly paid out more than £30,000 during an eight hour-long stay at the venue.

But in February this year licensing heads at Southampton City Council decided that the venue could reopen with immediate effect, as the council said it was noted the licence holder did not condone those actions and had taken “significant steps to address the shortcomings”.

The Licensing Sub-Committee at the city council has now approved a variation to the licence.

New changes will include requirements that “a member of the management team shall engage with any customer who has been in a private area for more than one hour”; “any transaction for £500 or over shall be made at the reception area by the patron and facilitated by a manager”; “CCTV audit checks shall be made by the senior management team” and “ a record shall be made of all VIP sit downs conducted by each dancer in the form of a spread sheet”.

In a statement the city council said: “There was no compelling evidence presented to the Sub-Committee that would justify refusal of the application. It was noted that there were no objections to the application and that the police had agreed the variation. The premises licence was subject to a review earlier in the year and was suspended pending a full review. At the full review conditions were attached to the premises licence and the venue was allowed to reopen. At the full review it was also agreed they would amend their  licence. This variation brings the licence in line with the Licensing Act premises licence.”

The venue’s licence is also set to be renewed by officers.

The city council said: “Now the committee have determined the variation application officers will process the renewal which will be granted as there have been no objections.”
