Anti-sleaze campaigners want a sexy logo removed from a Leeds strip club opposite the city's cultural and artistic heart.
The silhouette of a voluptuous woman on all fours dressed in a cat costume is the branding for the Wildcats lapdancing club chain.
Objectors say the image is sexually provocative, offensive to families and unsuitable for the location opposite the town hall and art gallery.
Having succeeded in getting overtly sexual signs removed from several city centre lapdancing clubs, objectors claim the logo at the club on The Headrow is as offensive as pictures of naked women.
Rosie Robinson Boardman, spokeswoman for the Leeds Object campaign, said: "It is quite clearly sexually overt and it's obvious this is a lapdancing club.
"This is a lovely, high profile area of Leeds, round the corner from the museum.
"You come to Leeds for a wonderful cultural experience at the town hall, art gallery or library, and you are slapped with the sex industry in front of you."
The law says clubs must not display outside their venues any photos or other images which indicate or suggest that striptease or similar dancing takes place on the premises.
A council investigation concluded the catwoman logo was NOT offensive enough to be banned.
Objectors – backed by Coun Mohammed Iqbal (Lab, City and Hunslet) – are determined to get the decision overturned.
Coun Iqbal said the council had been encouraging families to move into the city centre for many years but doing nothing in this case would have the opposite effect.
A spokesman for Wildcats Leeds laughed off the objections, saying it was "further proof of people with too much time on their hands."
He added : "We have operated in eight different towns for five years and it's genuinely the first time this issue has been raised.
"Do these people want Catwoman banned too? It seems a nonsense.
"They complain about our logo. I suppose they prefer the sight of people vomiting outside the bars a few yards further up from the town hall."
A Leeds City Council spokesman said: "We investigated and requested the removal of signage from a number of lap-dancing establishments in Leeds.
"However, we did conclude that the signage at Wildcats did not contravene the licence conditions.
"We recognise that Object have principled objections to lap dancing. However, the activity is lawful where it is correctly licensed."
