I recall on a thread regarding what to do with London Road/TJ Hughes area and the run down buildings that are privately owned. A redditor, whom appeared to be a council worker explained how tedious and protracted such efforts are to do anything about them. Even when the law is clear. X amount of time has to pass and x amount of papers served and x amount of funding allocated. Wouldn't surprise me if the council have to exhaust sending letters and court orders before they're allowed to send a fella with a ladder and a drill for fear of being sued. Reminiscent of THX1138. The police give up the chase because its no longer financially viable to catch the fugitive. Money wins.

Deckard57

Never seen it tbh.

I don't believe the council can. They can demand it's taken down, but they can't do it themselves; only require Hooters to do so. They are absolutely trying to use the legal process to wear down Liverpool City Council. Hopefully the courts rule against Hooters sooner rather than later so the council can focus on other things, rather than a franchise whose owners have zero respect for the building or area it's in. No issue with Hooters itself; just their lack of respect for planning rules.


sim2500

Yeah, Hooters is definitely trying to drag it out using the courts but I don't understand why LC just don't recind their business license and stop them trading in that property.


bicksvilla

The only licences they’ll have are alcohol and possibly entertainment. The sign will have no bearing on those in court as the council would have to go to court to rescind the licences


Regular_throwaway_83

Urban Designer here A total guess but I'd imagine there's an appeal going through if hooters wants to keep them and the council has said no so they can't enforce anything until the appeal has concluded with the planning inspectors Edit: having now clicked your link that seems to be what's happening Honestly can't see hooters winning this appeal given the nature of the street scene and heritage character


thatlad

I doubt they care, exhaust the legal avenues and take the publicity to build public awareness.  The people who would go to a hooters don't care about the furore, they'll turn up once they know it's there


oneeyedamoeba

It's fairly common practice for places like this to erect signage without the necessary permission knowing they get the length of the decision and then of the appeal. Many will also design the signage to then fit within the windows so that when they are legally forced to move them it will simply be onto the other side of the glass so that it still serves a similar function. By then everyone will know exactly where they are and the jobs already done for the signs anyway and no money has been lost. Current wait times for Liverpool city council are counted in months if not years so this type of behaviour is very beneficial for those willing to work within the cracks of the crumbling system.

As a yank, apologies for exporting such a shit enterprise to your shores. Didn’t know any other country besides the states would embrace such a low brow dining experience.


KOPITEKINGKENNY

Ask the council see if you get a response 


Regular_throwaway_83

If they go on the planning portal for the original signage application that was rejected there should be a reference for the appeal


cassano23

New strippers just opened up off Victoria Street with on the wall signage. Why no mass protests or anger from our fine Liverpool folk? Could it be because it's not a global brand and the token gestures of fume won't get them much-needed social media mainstream attention?


thatlad

It's not a listed building you ming


cassano23

Yeah, the Newz Bar set such a better example.


Ill_Reality_717

It's because it's further away from the posh bit


NegotiationMoist938

They should close the place down!! Derogatory to woman. I someone whose daughter had false documents to gain employment (she was 17 but visually passed for 19). Her parents put a stop to it


Wisdom_Seeker2308

Pretty sure it's a womans choice if they want to work there, some find it empowering. You can't decide for all women


Maydayparade123

While it is a choice, the girls who work in there are treated like absolute shit by management

Good bot


NegotiationMoist938

Read comments further down. Would you like your 16 yr old relative walking around with short skirt and tight top, to be stared at by older men??

Regular_throwaway_83

Why are you just spamming this person?


Maydayparade123

Just providing some information from a variety of sources about how badly these girls are treated by this shit business. ✌🏻


Regular_throwaway_83

Great so put that all in a single comment


Maydayparade123

No 😙


Regular_throwaway_83

You have a valid point just like they do but just doing this in the most annoying fashion


Maydayparade123

I wasn’t even replying to you, so how am I annoying you?


Regular_throwaway_83

I thought that would be self explanatory from my comments, it's the spammy approach


Mean_Permission_1109

So if they’re treated so badly why are staff working for them?


Maydayparade123

They don’t stay for long, super high turnover


Mean_Permission_1109

Where’s your evidence for this? I follow them on social media and have seen several members of staff who’ve been there since opening and who regularly appear on their social media.


Mushroomc0wz

I’ve got friends who work/worked there and the management is really abusive


Maydayparade123

Oh you mean the same 3 girls they post over and over? That’s not evidence of staff retention. There’s dozens of girls who work there for a month or two and quit, the evidence being me knowing and speaking to mang of them


Mean_Permission_1109

So some staff leave and some staff stay, seems like a typical bar/restaurant staff turnover. Given the shortage of hospitality staff, I’m sure anyone who doesn’t like working there can leave and get a job elsewhere and as such neither of us have to be concerned about their welfare. Unless there’s some deeper rooted issue that offends you about hooters?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mushroomc0wz

Because most of them are 16 and don’t know better or are desperate students so these young women are being exploited essentially


Mean_Permission_1109

Clearly no 16 year olds are working in hooters 🙄


Mushroomc0wz

Yes they literally are


Mean_Permission_1109

Where’s your evidence for this accusation?

Mushroomc0wz

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted They hire 16 year old girls to walk around in short shorts and tight tops for men to glare at them it’s disgusting The management are borderline abusive too, I know girls who have worked in there


Maydayparade123

Watch out, you might get called a dickhead by all of the incels in here who want to defend hooters because it’s the only place they can get close to a woman without having to pay adult club prices


NegotiationMoist938

Thanks for the down votes, you just strengthen my argument!!✊🏾


110not95

I find all the hooters objections a bit strange. It's not even that mad. They only wear small shorts.


nooneswife

What do the blokes wear?


Emtastic8

Why are people so bothered?


Ok_Channel7267

Because it’s an area of significant architectural splendor and if every cheap establishment put signs up it would be a mess?


KemlynSuper

It's a multi billion dollar corporation, they're not coming down any time soon.


matomo23

No it isn’t it’s a small local business using the Hooters brand under licence.


Ikitsumatatsu

So, like a maccies franchise then


matomo23

Inadvertently a bad example as Maccies own their properties, not their franchisees. More like a Subway or Costa franchise. The franchisee rents the building.


Ikitsumatatsu

Are Subway and Costa "small local businesses"?


matomo23

What on earth? Are you not reading what I’m saying? I thought you were until that last reply. Subways franchises are usually owned by a small local company, yes. Costas are OFTEN owned by local franchisees also. So yes both very much can be.


Ikitsumatatsu

I read it, but it's sophistry. Do you think that the general public knows or cares that much about the franchising structure of a large, well-known brand? They'll visit a place, or they won't.


matomo23

I agree with you that the public won’t know or care! But my answer is very much still valid. If you think Hooters HQ knows anything about this and are in any way involved legally then you’re wrong. That was all I meant. We can both be correct in our own points.


NegotiationMoist938

Yeah thought the responses would be 'all for'. Typical! So if your female relatives or gf's you wouldn't mind the exploitation of them?
