    Bar Provoke, is certainly provoking a reaction in the Borough's residents once more. Last year they were granted a 6 month trial of having strippers. The bar is now applying to extend the striptease hours to 12:30am Monday - Thursday in addition to continuing the existing timetables. They will also apply to extend opening hours to 2am on Fridays and Saturdays. They will also apply for table dancers.
