Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982
Proposed Regulation of Sex Shops, Sex Cinemas and Sexual Entertainment Venues
We are asking people for their views on the licensing of sex shops, sex cinemas and sexual entertainment venues across the District.
You have been identified as a key stakeholder for the purposes of this consultation. Please share the details of the consultation with any relevant members or partners who may also be interested in having their say.
North East Derbyshire District Council is considering adopting schedule 3 to the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 (as amended by section 27 of the Policing and Crime Act 2009) so that we can license sex shops, sex cinemas, and sexual entertainment venues in the District.
There are currently no such premises within the District, but should the Council adopt the legislation it would allow them to regulate those premises. The draft policy will act as a guide to applicants, decision makers and other interested parties and will ensure consistent application of the legislation.
If the legislation is adopted, Council would publish the "Sex Establishment Licensing Policy" and keep it under review, with a view to republish it at least every three years. Guidance issued by the Home Office relating to the licensing of Sex Establishments has been incorporated in to the Draft Policy, which was approved by the General Purposes Licensing Committee on 03 December 2020.
Before the full Council considers adopting the legislation, it is seeking the views on firstly whether residents and stakeholder groups agree that this course should be taken and secondly, what their views are on the contents of the draft policy.
This consultation will run from 01 March 2021 to 28 May 2021.
For more information, to view the draft policy and to have your say please visit:

A booklet to increase safety in rural areas has been launched in Derbyshire.
A booklet which gives advice on a range of issues such as theft, fire and personal safety has been launched in a bid to target countryside crime and emergencies in Derbyshire.
The Derbyshire Rural Safety and Crime Prevention Guide has come about through a collaboration between Derbyshire Constabulary, Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service and East Midlands Ambulance Service.
The booklet covers issues which have been highlighted as a priority for the rural communities of Derbyshire and gives advice on how to prevent them, to help people stay safe and to reduce crime and accidents.
From a crime prevention perspective, topics include farm machinery, plant and vehicle theft, livestock worrying and theft, fuel theft, equine crime, fly-tipping and poaching.
There is also a wealth of important safety information, including the safe storage of flammable materials, fire and electrical safety, winter driving advice and help in medical emergencies.
PCC Hardyal Dhindsa said: “People living in rural communities face different challenges but our emergency services are committed to supporting everyone and doing everything they can to keep them safe. It was clear when I visited every village in the county that people wanted easy access to information and this booklet provides a wealth of tips, useful numbers and advice.
“I’m proud that in recent years we have boosted the rural policing presence to make more remote communities safer, we are proactively tackling road safety issues and I very much hope that this booklet will add to their feelings of safety.”
