The city's Licensing Board approved changes to a licence for a new venue on Hope Street despite concerns from Glasgow Violence Against Women Partnership.
A Glasgow lap dancing club has been handed a boost in its bid to move premises despite objections over the new location.
However, the GMB union, which represents workers at sexual entertainment venues, backed the move as it believes it can improve safety. A Police Scotland representative said the Glasgow Violence Against Women Partnership had voiced concerns regarding the “safety of vulnerable women within Glasgow city centre” and near a major transport hub, Glasgow Central Station.
He was happy for the partnership to meet performers, without management present, the police statement added. She asked the board to consider “whether this is a suitable premises to be licensed” and if it compromised “the licensing objectives of protecting and improving public health and protecting children and young persons from harm”.
She said: “Whether sex work does take place at the Four Corners, no equivalence can be drawn between those who solicit sex work in public and those who work in the safety of a regulated sexual entertainment venue.”
