Police say their confidence in the club has 'nosedived'
A Manchester nightclub has lost its licence after two incidents which saw three customers stabbed 10 weeks apart. Vision, on Whitworth Street West, has been shut since the last incident on June 11.
Police were satisfied with the new security arrangements put in place following the first incident which requires door staff to use knife wands to search customers upon entry to the club. At a town hall hearing on April 28, the council's licensing sub-committee said it recognised the club is 'run well'.
Questions were raised by the council as to why one of the groups was allowed to leave the club while the other group was waiting by the entrance. Licensing officer Rachel Chappell said she had previously raised concerns about people passing items over the low barriers of the smoking area outside the club.
He said: "The nightclub industry is really tough since Covid. Until now, it's still a crisis. It's really difficult for us. I've already sold my own house and borrowed a big loan to support the business. Vision nightclub is my only business, and it's the only job for some of our staff as well. I really wish the committee can give us one more chance to trust us to prevent these things happening again.
