Objection to license: "Coco Sports Bar & Gentlemans Club"
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, object to the planning application for "Coco Sports Bar & Gentlemans Club" at 91 Norwood High Street, SE27 9JS
Research undertaken by the Lilith Project in 2003 in Camden found that in the years following the opening of a lap dance club on Tottenham Court Road, reports of female rape increased by 50\% and reports of sexual assaults against women increased by 50\%. (Eden, 2003)
The numbers of reported rapes around lap dance clubs is three times the national average. (Eden, 2003)
As these premises are located in close proximity to the train station and bus garage, many women and children terminate their journeys at these points and walk home alone at night. Statistics show that women feel more threatened travelling at night than men, and are more likely to restrict their travel plans based on fear of crime. (TfL, 2004) As there are no alternative options for many local residents, the proposed change of use causes great concern.

This club would bring many troubles for the residents in a predominantly family area and is completely unsuitable.

Women's safety should be paramount. If this goes ahead I would seriously have to consider moving out of the area.

This is a residential area, mostly housing with 4 schools in the immediate vicinity, and very little night economy. A strip club is hugely inappropriate for the area.

Apart from promoting immorality this club will also attract drug pushers. We do not want this. St Lukes Church is West Norwood will get the congregation to sign a petition as those that use the parish live in West Norwood

As chair of the Safer Neighbourhoods we are appalled that this is being considered and should be rejected. As with what happened in Tottenham Court road it will lead to an increase of prostitution, which will lead to an increase in dru

I object on grounds that it will be a public nuisance and against public safety.
