A city centre strip club can stay open for another year after councillors decided to renew the venue’s licence.

A Southampton City Council licensing sub-committee approved the sexual entertainment venue licence for Wiggle in Above Bar Street.

This means that the strip club will be allowed to open until February 28, 2025, when it will have to apply to renew again, as all venues like Wiggle are required to do so.

The application comes from Sylvan Glade Ltd, a company which has held a licence in Southampton since January 2016 following a transfer application.

Wiggle’s licence has been approved under specific conditions, which include a last entry time to all customers at 4am.

Patrons will also not be permitted to take drinks or glass containers when they step outside of the premises.

A minimum of two registered security supervisors must be on duty at the door, and toilets must be checked every 30 minutes while the strip club is open.

Toilet check records must also be kept for a minimum of three months.

The licence's mandatory conditions also clearly state that CCTV must cover all public areas inside the premises, including the entrance and exit.

Warning signs that cameras are recorded must also be fitted in public places.

An objection was raised by resident Susan Stockwell who argued that it was a breach of police to licence a strip club near monuments such as the Titanic Memorial and Isaac Watts memorial.

Susan told the Echo that the council said Wiggle “wasn’t considered” to have an impact on these memorials.

Susan said: “You probably remember coverage by the Echo of the Isaac Watts 350 year anniversary and it would be interesting to know what those who attended the service there think of the repeated licensing of strip clubs nearby here at Wiggle and further away in Playhouse at London Road.”

One public objection was received during a 28-day consultation.

“I ask you to honour this, particularly in view of the local press campaign to protect the parks,” objector Susan said in official documents, raising other concerns.
