Or, the people who built flats next to a music venue didn't put in adequate soundproofing and now the venue is being punished for this.

Night and Day court hearing adjourned as council ‘hopeful’ of finding solution
The venue was served a noise abatement notice by Manchester council in 2021 following complaints from a neighbouring flat

Press release. The one person who complained has now fucked off and there has been no complaints since.
Almost a year and a half ago internationally renowned music and arts venue and Manchester icon Night & Day was served a noise abatement notice by Manchester City Council following a noise complaint from an adjacent flat.
Night & Day now returns to court to continue to appeal the notice. The two date hearing starts on the 21st March at Manchester Magistrates Court. The judge will then consider and decide whether to uphold or drop the notice. The venue expects to hear the judge’s decision sometime after the hearing.
Business owner Jennifer Smithson is surprised and disappointed that the council has refused to take responsibility for the root cause of the problem.
Said Jennifer: “We believe that the source of this issue is that when MCC Planning approved the building of flats next to Night & Day there was no consideration to the neighbouring pre-existing music venue. Consideration of noise was one of the planning conditions specified by MCC Planning department with the developer and is held on public record at MCC Planning portal.
“An initial acoustic report recommended that an additional second report be conducted that addressed any noise ingress from the venue into the flat. This report was never commissioned and the development was signed off. Within the initial acoustic report the complainant’s flat in particular was identified as being at risk from noise ingress – before the flats were even built.
“To make matters even more incomprehensible, since the abatement notice was issued and the complainant has moved out of their flat, there have been no further noise complaints. It’s simply unacceptable for MCC to continue the premise that the responsibility for this planning mistake lies with the developer or builder.
We just want to get on with our lives and our business and keep Night & Day alive for the benefit and enjoyment of everyone in Manchester and beyond.”
Night & Day has recently been shortlisted for a prestigious Music Week ‘Best Grassroots Venue in the UK’ award and over 98,000 people have signed the petition at change.org to keep the venue open. Jennifer and her family hope to continue operating and contributing to the local and national music scene as it has done for the past 32 years.
