mkowlthesexynewversion Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I suppose the Council can theoretically oppose any change of use planning application. But that may not help save the Venue as a music venue. The question is who is the landlord, work out what else they own and see if that can pressurise them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyben Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 The council cause this. They are absolutely rotten and should support hospitality and entertainment businesses like The Leadmill, in the same way other councils do.

The guy who owns the building also owns other music venues so not sure what his motives are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have said that there could be a change in the people that run it... The people who run it are the ones who own the rites to the Leadmill name. As already said, it'll become a soulless pop world palace. It'll die on its arse within three years and give the landlords the opportunity to turn it into student accommodation.

Andyben Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 God knows MPB i would have been losing my marbles in a cellar underneath the Caribbean restaurant on London Road at the time.
