Loft Appeal
No, it’s not a pecunious artist looking for a garrett. Something more serious - the next stage of the campaign to stop a lap-dancing club opening on North Road in Durham City Centre.
Following the decision of the City Licensing Committee to grant a resticted licence, the case is going to the Magistrates Court where the opponents (including yours truly) will be fighting to have the licence overturned, and the owners, Vimac Ltd, will be asking to have most of the restrictions lifted.
The appeal is due to be heard at Durham Magistrates Court on 6, 7 and 10 December. There will be a Silent Witness outside the Court on Thursday 6 December from 9.30 am to 10 am to express the public outrage at the thought that this kind of activity may be allowed in the City.
There is also a Fighting Fund to help with the substantial legal costs involved in the appeal. The account is held at the Market place branch of NatWest where they will accept donations into the account no: 38673541 with cheques made payable to “The Loft Appeal”.
