Never really my kind of club - I always preferred it a bit less 'smart casual' but I suspect there is a correlation between clubs closing and an increasing incidence of illegal parties. Fabric was never a 'smart casual' kind of place.

And councils generally get to attach all manner of 'social contributions' to planning applications and developments (Often a development will be tied to the developer providing parks, playgrounds, roads, amenities etc that the council will take credit for, but the developer will pay for). A lot of these clubs are prime real estate areas. Plus the flats (like the Hacienda ones) have a certain marketability due to where they once were. Once the licence is revoked, the value of the property drops quite a bit and re-purposing a nightclub as anything else isn't viable. So it becomes a buyers market (where as when its a nightclub that's making a good profit, then the buyer will have to pay over the odds). Same happens to a lesser extent with pubs. The council look for reasons to deny a licence, the police find them, and then next thing you know its being turned into flats or housing - touted as urban rejuvenation, and the council pays next to nothing for the credit.

What I mean is with all the major development of high end apartments and the introduction of the night tube central London is going through a major image change maybe to become a millionaires playground and these sorts of places don't fit in with that image

Absolutely devastated by this news, and it's not got anything to do with drugs and consumer safety. It's purely about Islington Council's grubby little hands wanting money. As exposed by the Independent: [Link] It's an absolute disgrace, it's making up a blatant lie to shut down an institution that's been around long before the developers and long before these f*cking councillors. Labour by the way, not Tory. There's now nothing keeping me in London apart from family and CPFC, the price of living here to not even be able to go out without feeling like a criminal (whilst watching city boys sniffing a gram of coke at work every day which is apparently fine), the city is losing its soul. Basically going to end up with a city full of Ed Sheeran fans and who on God's green earth wants that?
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. |
