If it's a real one from the period that he should consider photographing it and sharing it because there's only one documented sign online - and there's some doubts about its authenticity too (not that I'm doubting that these signs existed).
 
I met an oldish bloke couple of weeks ago in Ireland, he was talking about seeing those signs too when he first came here to London looking for work. Then he said how things have changed, how nobody seems to have a problem with the Irish anymore but the hate has moved on.

That link isn't working. What was this agreement?

As far as I can see it merely refers to permitted hours and the need for a "fat trap" to protect the drains.
But it does state it was drawn up by Camden Legal Services, and also gave the information about the Lloyds Bank mortgage, which enabled cross reference to find the other properties owned by Shan Investments Ltd.

There are often very good articles in Vice, including on the gentrification theme but this one is pretty bad, a full-on judgemental hate-fest. Maybe the author spends too much time reading u75. I actually agree that the dress code is distasteful but as ever the attack is then focused on a fictionally homogeneous group of people - customers and people who work there - rather than the people who run the thing and make decisions about door policy.

And I don't really understand how the Fridge Bar having a "no tracksuits" policy was ok but this one is not. As far as I can see, we can suspect the same intention in either case.

I would call it a diatribe. But surely the tracksuit bottoms bit is just aimed at the overweight? If you are running a hedonistic night "space" surely you wouldn't want overweight slobs marring the carefully planned atmosphere?

People with tracksuit bottoms are always welcome at the Beehive - since they are likely to be very thirsty.

The NR planning application did not follow guidelines on the proportions of retail and bars/ restaurants on one site. The application was asking for more permission for more A3 uses (bars etc) than it should to follow planning guidelines.

One Cllr said he was not happy with this but would still vote for the application.

It was valid planning reason to knock the application back.

Planning officer did say something about this being due to allowing present business ability to come back. But I didn’t really understand this. Nor did the Cllrs on the committee question the planning officer or NR further on this. Which they should have done. As its a material planning issue.

I think this is the relevant bit from the minutes which CH1 posted a link to on the other thread:

Local Plan policy dictated that no more than two in five consecutive ground floor units in the primary shopping area should be in food and drink use at one time. However, the existing food and drink related uses fronting Brixton Station Road were proposed to be retained in terms of their use and would therefore result in more than two in five consecutive units for food and drink use. Officers considered that the scheme complied with Policy PN3 on the basis that the proposals sought to facilitate the return of the existing tenants and that there would be no net increase in the number of food and drink units on Brixton Station Road.

not sure.....Lambeth Local Plan... policy Q19 (this was in the draft version not sure what it is listed as now) - Historic Environment Strategy....In order to ensure that the historic environment continues to play a positive strategic role, the Council will:
(i) use its planning powers (including enforcement powers) to ensure that special regard is paid to sustaining and enhancing the historic environment.
Also Policy PN3 - Brixton ...as already pointed out.....
Brixton's role as a distinctive major multicultural and diverse town centre will be safeguarded and promoted through careful and sensitive regeneration, recognising its local heritage and historic built environment with a specific focus on different character areas, and supporting the economic, social and environmental sustainable development this is more about what Brixton is famous for and what brings visitors in etc).

In order to ensure that heritage assets continue to play a key role in the quality of Lambeth’s environment, the council will prepare an Historic Environment Strategy, which will assist developers and other interested parties in understanding the justifications behind its approach to development management policies Q19, Q20, Q21, Q22, Q23, Q24, Q25 and Q26 and the wider local issues relating to the historic environment.
 
Anyone wanting to challenge this should bear in mind that it would need to be by judicial review submitted within six weeks of the decision.

Dodgy fucking Disney company too:

In February 2016, staff members at Vice UK called for unionisation with an officially recognised trade union by the National Union of Journalists. Staff members said this was following the steps of Vice US (which unionised with the Writers Guild of America, East[49]), in order to allow the staff to "share in the success of the company", to strengthen job security by Vice providing better contracts, to address "pay issues ... so everyone gets a fair deal, including freelancers" and enhance career progression opportunities.[50]

This proposition was rejected by Vice UK; the company refused to recognise the National Union of Journalists but instead said that they were free to set up an internal staff council. Vice chief executive, Matt Elek, claimed the NUJ had displayed "a concerning lack of transparency from them about who they are purporting to represent here [and had] not been able to provide us with any numbers to demonstrate the degree of support they have in this office", adding that: "The NUJ are used to working with old print media businesses and structures – they are not used to innovative, digital workplaces like this where the culture has always been to encourage flexibility and allow people work across different departments."[51]

West Ham fans should collectively fuck off back home to East London....lol :)

Didn't I hear you bought 1/3rd ownership using U75 for the full Barrier Block and were thinking of opening a new joint venture branch with Foxton's in the Arches to sell it all off??

Good move geezer - it's what I would have done!
