An End to Revellers Taking the P***?

Thanks to a long campaign by Haggerston Councillors and the hard work of Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods Alan Laing, we now have portable urinals strategically located around the Shoreditch Triangle.

The units are delivered at the beginning of the evening and collected in the small hours meaning they have minimal impact on residents.

Drunk people relieving themselves in doorways has been an increasing problem - particularly on the estates that surround Hoxton Square and hopefully this will make some difference.

Maybe we can move from this:

T Bar Shut Down

The police have asked the owners of the T Bar in Shoreditch to close down for two weeks to get their act together on drugs. An undercover officer was offered class A drugs minutes after entering the club. The manging director Jaime Ritchie was told the police would apply to have its licence revoked if they didn't offer to shut the place down and put in place measures to keep drugs out of their club.

Good to see the police taking tough action and good to see the T Bar management taking the right decision and having some time out to get the right procedures in place.

Shoreditch Licensing Meeting

There was a meeting last night in Shoreditch Town Hall which brought together local residents and licensees to discuss the tensions that the night time economy can create and how the Council and the police are hoping to work together with the community to make the area a better place for everyone. It was at times lively but generally the debate was really constructive.


What struck me most of all was that many licensees seem to feel genuinely hard done by and really resent the Special Policy Area which restricts, amongst other things, opening hours in and around the Shoreditch triangle. Complaints about the SPA from licensees seem to miss the point.


Bars in Shoreditch that are struggling are not finding life difficult because of the Special Policy Area or because enforcement is too tough. They are struggling because people don't want to spend their money with them. If they should end up closing, hopefully someone more imaginative and talented will take over and make a go of the premises either as a bar or as a restaurant or some kind of day time use.


There are loads of good bars within the SPA that do just fine and it's no surprise that they are the ones who realise that running a successful bar in an area like this requires more than flinging up half a dozen plasmas and opening late. It requires investment in staff and premises, imagination and a willingness to try different things. No-one on the Council has it in for bar owners - if licensees stick to the rules there won't be a problem and if they don't they will be dealt with in a consistent and proportionate way.



The constant doom laden predictions I hear from Shoreditch bar owners that competition from other parts of London will kill the night time economy are nonsense. What will kill the area is if we fail to crack down on the badly run bars, fail to make people (especially women) feel safe when they go out here and fail to offer people something different. Cheap drinks, late hours and proximity to strip clubs is not a recipe for a sustainable Shoreditch. Fewer, better bars, more restaurants and cafes, well maintained green spaces, more trees and more day time retail is.
