A sex shop which closed down could be reopened by new owners.

This evening Epping Forest District Council’s Licensing Committee will decide whether or not a Buckhurst Hill shop can continue to run as an adult store.

Fifty Ways, in Epping New Road, shut last month to focus on online sales and another store, but has now been taken over by a new retailer.

Frank Solarz, representing residents at Iceni Court, close to the shop said that renewing the licence would be “inappropriate” due to its proximity to religious centres and schools.
