MP Daniel Kawczynski hits out at Shrewsbury lap dance club proposal

Controversial plans for Shrewsbury's first lap dancing club were today branded 'inappropriate' by the town's MP.

Daniel Kawczynski said plans to transform the Source Vodka Bar in Barker Street into a 'sex encounter establishment' were not right for Shrewsbury.

He said: "Shrewsbury town centre is not an appropriate place for these establishments, they have a place in big cities like London but I don't think Shrewsbury is the right place. I think lap dancing is demeaning."

Shrewsbury Town Council leader Peter Nutting also attacked the plans. He said: " It doesn't fit in with the high quality restaurants and night-life we have in Shrewsbury."

But bar owner Rob Bywater said he had received no complaints during a monthly trial night last year and now hoped to run them on a weekly basis.

The town council planning committee is to discuss the proposal on Tuesday night.
