Update from the council

Good to get this email from Daniel Oyebanjo at LBTH Community Safety:


Further to our last conversation regarding the above mentioned, I write to update you on the following action that has ensued.
  1. A site visit was carried out to understand the location and ascertain the extent of the distress and alarm the clientele of Mango's have caused to the residents of the above mentioned.
  2. Liaised with various agencies with the aim of bringing in solutions to the area. The agencies contacted were Police, SNT, Licensing (both Police & Council), Highways (in relation to parking and traffic), LET's (in relation to the rubbish, broken bottles left behind after clubbing at Mango's), Legal, Planning Department, Environmental Health & the Director of the Local Action Partnership (LAP's 3 & 4) for the Shadwell & Wapping Area.
  3. I have also arranged an action group to hold a meeting next week with the aim of coming with an action plan to improve on the quality of life to the residents of the above mentioned.
Furthermore, I have also found out that residents can request for a review of the premises (that is, Mango club), which can be downloaded from the Council's website. Unfortuantely, the Licensing Authority is unable to make any representation against a premises licence or review. This would give residents the opportunity to make representation as they so wish. A number of factors will be taken into account for a representation to be valid, such as
  • person(s) living in the vicinity of the premises
  • a body representing persons living in the vicinity, for example, a resident association or a parish council
Should you require more information you can contact in the person of Jacqueline Randall, who works in the Licensing section. on 0207 364 5109 or email, jacqueline.randall@towerhamlets.gov.uk informing her of your disagreement to the review with reasons of course.
