The couple who complained about noise from Night & Day have now moved out of their apartment which neighbours the music venue, a court has heard. But Manchester council will not withdraw the noise abatement notice which the Northern Quarter bar is now appealing, costing the taxpayer 'thousands'.
Speaking at Manchester Magistrates' Court today (November 30), Rex Chesney said he and his partner moved out of the Dale Street flat in May. The couple complained about the noise from the neighbouring music venue when it fully reopened following the lifting of Covid restrictions in July 2021.
Council officers who visited the flat last November during a club night said they could hear the high pitch vocals of 'Sweet Dreams are Made of This'. Days later, the local authority issued a noise abatement notice which the venue appealed, arguing that turning the music down would kill the business.
