FURTHER to the article in one of last week's editions, I felt I had to congratulate Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council for making one of its better decisions not to allow nude lap dancers at the Velvet Lounge, although I was disappointed that they agreed to this type of club in the first place.

The manager is afraid that the men who frequent the club will go to Preston or Bolton instead where this type of dancing is allowed.

Well all I can say to them is "goodbye and good riddance."
