Residents were last night disappointed that Lambeth's Licensing Committee granted a late night licence to a night club pub in a residential area on South Lambeth Road.
Local residents and the local Labour Councillors came to the committee to complain that the Wheatsheaf pub, previously well run, was applying to turn itself into a live music venue with a 3am finish!
Before 2 petitions from local residents had been submitted they had been asking for 5am!
Local residents and Cllr Jack Hopkins spoke against the late finish, arguing that the noise and nuisance created would directly impact on the residents of Walton Close, Henry, James and Leslie Houses, not to mention the parade of houses next door.
However the committee decided instead to simply 'condition' the bar - they will have to have a security guard and not allow people in or out past midnight, or to drink and eat in the garden past midnight.
They will still be allowed to play live music until all hours, great on Clapham High Street. Not so great if you live behind or next to the night club.
Whether the new night club can keep to these arrangements remains to be seen. Labour Councillors and local residents will keep an eye on it but if you are a local resident and feel that the noise and nuisance is too much in the early hours then you can ring the Noise Nuisance Team:
