| Fabric has been saved from closure on the condition that sniffer dogs are on patrol at the nightclub.
The Farringdon venue had its licence reviewed by Islington council last night following police worries about four drug-related deaths in the last three years.
Fabric kept its licence but it was decided that seven £300-a-night sniffer dogs would be introduced as a measure to deter drug users and dealers.
ID checks, improved CCTV and increased drug searches on the door also make up the conditions of the 15-year-old club staying open.
Although police say the relationship between them and the club has been good, club founders Cameron Leslie and Keith Reilly will appeal the decision.
They said: "We’ll be appealing. We need to see their written reasons but we fundamentally disagree on a number of key points."
Reilly added: "In 15 years we have had six million people come through the doors and sadly there have been four deaths. We do everything we can to stop people taking drugs in the club. What’s happened recently is this country is awash with drugs.
"There’s been a large batch of MDMA that’s got more powerful and has caught the kids out."
Despite the added conditions, Fabric continues to run as normal tonight with JME, Skepta, DJ EZ and Scratcha DVA among the line-up. |
