Opening on Sundays, it is believed to be the first of its kind in the area because it caters for teenagers on weekends rather than weekday nights.

Developer Colin Green said there would be a zero tolerance policy on alcohol, drugs or offensive weapons.

Club Teens opens in Bradford Road this Sunday, from 6.30pm-10pm, after three years of planning application knock-backs at various other sites.

It will be based in newly opened Green's Nitescene, which is already open for adults only on Friday and Saturday nights.

Mr Green said alcohol is served only on those over-18s nights.

He had originally tried to convert the former Jessop's Mill social club in Bradford Road, Batley, into what could have been the country first booze-free teen club.

But council fears over anti-social behaviour and parking meant the plans were shelved

Mr Green said: "Club Teens starts in the holidays which is great for teenagers. They are bored out of their heads on Sundays.

"There is no club like this around opening on weekends. It's not a youth club either."

Mr Green said teenagers just wanted somewhere to have a good time and it was unfair to brand them all as troublemakers.

He said there was a shortage of entertainment places for them.

He added the separate entrance at the back muted any fears about adults on a night out mixing with teenagers.

He said: "It's taken a long time and it's been a long-winding road but there is no reason to stop it now. I want the kids to have a good time."

Mr Green said up-coming bands and guest DJs would keep the teenagers hooked as original mixes and bassline music would feature at the new club.

There will also be competitions, free give-aways, food and soft drinks.

He added professional door staff would keep any trouble at bay.
