why pass the adverts as being ok then do this?
TAXIS which advertise lap-dancing clubs have been banned by Scotland's biggest council.
Bosses at Glasgow City Council are refusing to allow staff to travel in cabs displaying the ads.
Whenever a taxi is hired by has left councillors virtually powerless to prevent them.
Deputy leader Jim Coleman, who is also chairman of Glasgow Violence Against Women Partnership, has sent a letter to each council department announcing the ban.
He said: "We do not believe the council should be endorsing this advertising.
"We have taken a strong stance against this industry which we believe to be a form of commercial sexual exploitation.
"From now on, no council department will use a taxi with this advertising on."
Glasgow has four major lap-dancing venues and adverts for Spearmint Rhino and Diamond Dolls appear on several taxis.
Spearmint Rhino, the world's biggest lap-dancing chain, opened their first Scots venue in Glasgow in April.
Councillors banned them from calling the venue a "gentlemen's club" in taxi adverts, saying "true gentlemen" wouldn't go there.
A Glasgow Taxis spokesman said: "This will mean a loss of earning for a few of our members."
