Sex establishment licence consultation
In April 2012 views were asked on a new draft sex establishment policy, proposed to regulate sex shops, sex cinema and sexual entertainment venues in Portsmouth.
The council reached the preliminary conclusion that there is no place within Portsmouth in which it would be appropriate to licence a sex establishment.
