Kings Club in Harrogate.
Harrogate Borough Council has renewed the sexual entertainment licence of the town’s Kings Club.
Kings Club, on Oxford Street, which is the town's only strip club, has been given permission to continue topless pole dancing, topless stage strip tease and full nudity lap dancing.
The borough council’s licensing committee met on Wednesday to make the decision.
Councillors dealt with the application in private session. But the authority confirmed that the licence was renewed with conditions.

The government closed all clubs in March and has not yet given them the green light to reopen. This licence renewal is a sign that Kings Club is confident in its return after a few difficult months.
When the Kings Club closed it said that it will reopen as soon as possible to “restart the party”. The club added in its announcement:
“We are grateful to the government for the financial support they have so far offered which will soften the financial blow for our staff and management. We look forward to the party of the decade when we return.”
