More good sense from the University of York's student newspaper:

article

Good point at the end: "Feminism means working to support women, in whatever they do ".

seeks longer opening hours on race days

One objector claimed that "naked dancers could clearly be seen from upper floor windows at his nearby home through transparent net curtains at the club".

I can't find Upstairs' own website - if it has one, and I didn't try very hard.

But details here.

I wonder if the girls in those photographs really work there?

All I could find was a very out of date Twitter account:

License up for renewal. Best research for renewal dates of clubs are local online papers looking to increase traffic.

And license renewed. The councillors sound like the morality police but judging by the comments everyone else think's so to.

So the building owner has not renewed the tenancy. The current SEV license holders are looking for a new venue.

From the York Press article:

"YORK'S only lap dancing club has been granted a licence by City of York councillors.

"Club 55, based on the first floor of Micklegate nightclub Ziggy’s, now has permission to operate as a sexual entertainment venue for the next 12 months. It can operate as a sex establishment from 9pm-3am, Monday to Sunday, and from 6pm-4.30am on York Racecourse race days.

"No objections to the renewal were received during the consultation period."

"The venue had been running as Mansion Nightclub for eight years, when the premises included lap dancing club Upstairs, but Mansion closed in 2019 after failing to renew its tenancy. Councillors on the licensing and regulatory committee voted unanimously to approve the application."
