Adult shop fights council's ban on window display

A TOWN centre adult store has claimed 'sexual discrimination' over its shop front window display.

Management at the sex shop, 'Sin-til-Late' on Queen Street, have asked Lancaster City Council to vary their licence so they can create a more 'enticing' display with 'lingerie, hosiery, fancy dress costumes, lotions, potions and novelty items'.

They say other nearby non-licensed lingerie and fancy dress shops can display such goods, so why can't they?

Sin-til-Late is currently allowed to have a small window display of goods NOT sold in the store – including negligees – but ridiculously, say the owners, the licence prevents them from advertising items they actually sell.

The strictly over-18s store also sells pornographic DVDs, sex toys and sexual aids, but owners say these would not be placed in the window.

Agree

Council officers said that Sin-til-Late's request should be agreed.

Susan Judge, co-owner of Sin-til-Late, said: "We've been here a year and we've had no complaints.
