New strip club set to create 20 jobs in Swanscombe and boost Kent's economy and tourism

A planned new strip club is set to create 20 jobs in north west Kent.

The £5.5million project by family-owned firm Strip Co. is set to be built on a three-acre site at Swanscombe.

It will be the company's fifth UK strip club and joins Ellesmere Port, Southampton, Cwmbran and Nottingham.

The new club, financed by Kent Council, will have 10 tip rails, a fully licensed bar and six TV screens showing Sky Sports News HD. 20 new jobs will be created in north west Kent.

These jobs will include strippers, barmen, cleaners, security and doormen as well as a manager. Positions have now opened and are available for application at job centres in Bexleyheath, Dartford and Gravesend.

Strip Co., based in Birmingham, West Midlands, is set to create 20 new jobs at the club and expects to boost the local economy in Kent, as well as tourism to the county. Local news website KentOnline has predicted that the strip club will bring in tourists from London and Essex and will be more popular than other attractions in Kent such as nearby Bluewater Shopping Centre, Canterbury Cathedral and Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Kent Council has said in preparation for the new strip club they have been working in collaboration with Essex Council and the toll at the Dartford crossing is being decreased to £1 for cash payers and just 50 pence for Dart Tag holders. Kent Council are reported to be "very excited" about the grand opening of the strip club and they may generate enough income to remove offensive graffiti from Canterbury Cathedral.

A Kent Council spokesman, Michael Westmoor said: "This new strip club is an exciting opportunity in Kent for residents and tourists alike. We are very excited for the grand opening and look forward to greeting local residents and tourists to the new strip club."

He added: "We are hoping to gain enough profit to remove the offensive graffiti that has built up across our county including at the Canterbury cathedral and more recently Tonbridge castle. Then again we may not need to repair these places as people will be too busy visiting the strip club in Swanscombe to visit anywhere else in the county."

The strip club will be officially opening on Friday 26th April 2013 at 8:00 PM. The opening will be covered by local media outlet KM group which own radio station KMFM and news site KentOnline. The strip club will be opened by Councillor Vic Openshaw (mayor of Swanscombe).
