Bookmarked: Cardiff councillor speaks out against Hooters

Cardiff Councillor Kirsty Davies has added her thoughts to the Hooters debate which incensed the city last month.

Following a licence application for American restaurant Hooters in the city centre feminists protested, and two rival groups were set up on Facebook. The application was granted after no "valid" objections were made.

Apart from Simon Pickard's comments on the application, City Hall kept fairly quiet on the issue.

Now, Llandaff councillor Kirsty Davies has written an article for Click on Wales arguing against the arrival of the chain bar.

She writes:

"As I see it, the issue is not whether women should be permitted to wear gym-shorts, ankle-socks and tight fitting T-shirts; Rather it should not be part of their job description that they should do so."

Davies unpicks the job description for female bar staff – which requires them to wear 'wholesome cheerleader' Hooters uniform.
