The third and final day of a court hearing for Manchester's Night & Day Café which was due to take place today (January 17) has been adjourned. The Northern Quarter venue is appealing a noise abatement notice served by Manchester council in 2021 following complaints from a neighbouring flat.
In November, Manchester Magistrates Court heard from one of the residents who complained about the noise as well as council officers and venue owner Jennifer Smithson. She told the court of her shock that the family business could be closed down if the noise abatement notice is upheld by the judge.
However, council officers said they do not intend to close the venue and want to work with the owners to address the noise issue. The Local Democracy Reporting Service understands that talks have taken place since then.
