Signatures to keep this integral, historical and fantastic independent music venue/restaurant/bar open in Oxford!

Anyone who’s ever been or anyone who is passionate about keeping small independent businesses going in this hard time, sign away. The change in licensing agreement will not only cancel many valued and important events but will also drastically reduce custom!

HELP!

Seems that they have reasons for to deny the license, no?

“Application for a Review of a Premises Licence: The review is being requested following consistent breaches of the licensing objective: prevention of public nuisance” ( http://www.oxford.gov.uk/PageRender/d… )

Yes,but the complaints are from people who have moved in having been fully warned about the potential of noise. The Cowley road, where the Hi-Lo is situated, is a street in Oxford made up of many independent bars/restaurants, most people who move there know that there will be a certain level of disturbance and make the decision to move in or not based on how much they mind. The Hi-Lo has recently spent a lot of money installing sound proofing systems etcetc(Eye witness here). The problem is mainly a couple of neighbours who have taken a disliking to it and are being difficult on a ‘personal’ level. This is one of the few venues left in Oxford with good quality, live music and unique atmosphere.

I wouldn’t be so passionate about it if it was fair to take away the late opening license and more importantly the license which allows live music and bands
