Foxy Lady closed temporarily in March but is now seeking a new license

A strip club and adult cinema which closed temporarily in March has applied for a new licence.

Foxy Lady in Oxford Street, Bilston, includes a sex shop, cinema and strip club

Andrea Parsons applied to City of Wolverhampton Council for a new sexual entertainment venue licence for the club, and the application asks for permission to open from midday to 06:00 BST every day.

The authority said no objections had been made to the plans by any of the responsible authorities.

The council's regulatory committee will meet in Wolverhampton on 3 June to make a decision on the application.

The club opened in the 1990s and was given a venue license by the council in 2005.

Its opening hours were extended to 06:00 BST following a decision by the authority in 2012, despite objections from local councillors on behalf of several residents.

They were concerned over added noise and traffic by extending the opening hours.

A notice was placed on the club's entrance in March, saying it had closed temporarily.
