NEWLY-OPENED nightclub Mad Jacks is bidding to open later, bringing it in line with other venues in Chippenham.
The club, which has taken over the former Rush club's premises in New Road, wants to be able to stay open until 2am on Monday to Friday and until 3am on Saturdays.
The extended hours would be the same as Bud's nightclub in neighbouring Station Hill.
The club also wants to open from 12 noon to 12.30am on Sundays.
Club owners David Broome and John Jefferies have put in an application for a licence for longer opening hours to North Wiltshire District Council.
The pair also own Swindon's topless bar, Foxies, and their purchase of the Chippenham club sparked claims that they were planning to bring topless women and pole dancing to the town.
The new owners have not ruled out bringing the same to Chippenham.
North Wiltshire's MP James Gray has called on the club's owners to assure the town that lap dancing will not be introduced at Mad Jacks.
