Just before Christmas we had some good news. A closure notice was served on 333, the nightclub situated at 333 Old Street. This was the first licensed premises in Hackney to be shut under the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003.
The owner of 333 Vicki Pengilley (who also owns the Red Lion and the Bricklayers Arms) has vowed to work with the police to tackle the problems that led to the club's closure.
Let's hope this sends out a powerful message to other bar and club owners in the ward - stick by the rules or you'll be hit where it hurts most - your pocket.
I hope all those who planned to attend the 'Hoxton Apocalypse' found somewhere else to herald the arrival of 2007.
