Last minute talks are being held over a Manchester music venue - with bosses due to appear in court again today (July 4) - in a long-running row about noise. Night & Day Cafe has taken Manchester council to court over a legal notice served on the premises by the town hall more than 18 months ago.
The Northern Quarter venue has argued the move by the local authority to limit the level of noise it makes late at night threatens its future. The notice was served following a complaint by neighbours, who have now moved out.
Manchester Magistrates' Court heard an appeal of the noise abatement notice in November, but the final day of the hearing has been adjourned twice since. It comes after talks between both parties were held in a bid to settle the matter.
