De Burgh Arms lapdancing bid refused
A PUB'S bid to be converted to a lapdancing bar has been refused by a licensing committee.
The De Burgh Arms, in Station Approach, High Street, West Drayton, had applied for permission to become a venue for lapdancing at the end of December to boost its trade.
The news however angered local residents and MP John Randall, who described the bid as 'a backwards step' for the towns of Yiewsley and West Drayton.
A deciding factor for the licensing committee in their refusal was that the bar was so close to West Drayton train station and the bus stop, and made the site for such a venue far from ideal.

I would like to thank Mr Dominic Gilham for leading the fight against this proposal, and for putting together the petition.
A great community champion, which Yiewsley and West Drayton need more of.
