The application hangs in the balance because of the separate issue of noise levels which owners of nearby plush city centre flats say is causing a nightmare. But club bosses insist they are responsible neighbours and have assured child protection authorities that their employees will be under wraps from now on.

Also in the dossier is a letter to police from an agent employed on behalf of Legs 11's parent company, Leisure Nights Ltd, to deal with the application. The document promises that no dancers will be allowed outside with underwear on show. A letter has also been sent to Birmingham's Safeguarding Children's Board to reassure them that no images of naked or semi-naked women will be visible. The letter from the club's agent, Terry Poultney, states that this is to "negate ne·gate tr.v. ne·gat·ed, ne·gat·ing, ne·gates 1. To make ineffective or invalid; nullify. 2. To rule out; deny.
