Fury at sex shops plan

Aug 25 2005

By Roland Hughes And Steve Bagnall, Daily Post

 

The site of the planned sex shop in Conwy, a proposal that has caused some shock and anger in the town

TWO sex shops - one including private viewing booths - could be set to open in a North Wales county.

Applications have been lodged for a sex shop in Llandudno and a "private adult shop" in historic Conwy..

Neighbours of the proposed shop within Conwy's walls last night reacted angrily to the plan.

The proposal would see the former Co-operative Funeral Director transformed into a Seedier Enterprises Xtra (SEX) Ltd adult shop.

Another plan has been lodged for a sex shop at the former Barratts shoe shop on St George's Place, just off the promenade, in Llandudno.

The Conwy plan, the more controversial of the two, would see 10 "viewing booths" built, where customers can retire to watch pornographic films in privacy.

Visitors would also be offered a "personal masseur" in the shop, which would sell DVDs, videos, uniforms, bondage equipment, leatherwear, marital aids and latex and rubber wear.

The building on Lancaster Square has been shut since the funeral director, which employed only two people, closed last summer after two years' trading.

A sign in the premises' windows says the new shop would contain the biggest stock of adult material in North Wales.

A spokeswoman for Conwy County Borough Council said they had received formal applications for sex establishments in Conwy and Llandudno.
