UK Community Tries to Block Proposed Adult Store

A sex shop proposed for a residential area has received some criticism from area residents who are demanding the plans be thrown out. The proposed store, to be called Temptations, would occupy the premises formerly used by a copy shop.

Thisislancashire.com reported that some residents and businesses have even gone as far as starting a petition in a bid to stop the move from moving. “I wouldn't support anything which provides opportunities for children to see things they should not,” Hartshorne, an area elementary school principle, told the report. A lot of our pupils would have to pass the shop."

Petition organiser, Chris Whittaker, who runs the In Good Taste cafe next door to the proposed shop also told reporters that the store would not be welcome.

Members of Bolton Council's licensing committee are currently meeting to decide on the application.
